Would it be possible to prevent password sharing with nginx? I’d be using nginx and http based authentication to password protect a directory. I’d like to limit the number of IP numbers per user/pass combination and looking for a good strategy.

    You could restrict it by IP:

    server {

....

location / {
        root   /var/www-data/restrictedfolder
        index  index.php;
        allow XX.XX.XX.XX; # Work
        allow ZZ.ZZ.ZZ.ZZ; # Work backup
        allow YY.YY.YY.YY; # Tim's Home
        deny all;
    }
....

}

    So they need an approved IP and valid credentials.
