Do nginx static-only apps support basic-auth passwords?

anna

I've created a new static app on Opalstack (of the nginx static only variety). Now i'd like to add basic authentication.

I've tried adding .htaccess and .htpasswd files, then adding them with htpasswd. This produces Adding password for user at the command line, but no password dialog is appearing when I go to the site.

Is this because static-only apps don't support passwords, or should I debug further?

anna correct, static-only apps can't be password-protected at this time.

If you need basic auth, use a PHP+Apache app as described here: Password Protection for PHP Applications | Opalstack Support Center

You can disable PHP execution for the app with Options -ExecCGI in .htaccess.

Thanks, I'll do that.
