Replacing Nginx Basic Auth #1

Closed josegonzalez closed 12 years ago

You mention in this comment that you built this to replace nginx basic auth. Is that possible, and if so, how would i go about it?

Hi Jose,

It only replaces it in the general sense that we used to all have a shared company password that we used with nginx basic auth, and now we each authenticate with our own github usernames using oauth.

To get started, clone the repo on your server, set up a github application, then edit the config file to add your github application's credentials and point to the port that your internal server is running on. Let me know if you run into any issues.
