for Ngnix auth i follow these steps.

sudo apt-get -y install nginx

echo "admin:`openssl passwd -apr1 data@123pass`" | sudo tee -a /etc/nginx/htpasswd.kibana  
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

/etc/nginx/sites-available/default

```auto
server {
    listen 80;

    server_name example.com;

    auth_basic "Restricted Access";
    auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/htpasswd.users;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:5601;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;        
    }
}

```

sudo service ngnix restart.
