I do the same with my nginx configuration:
(nginx-server-configuration
(listen '("443 ssl" "[::]:443 ssl"))
(server-name (list "foo.org"))
(root "/var/www/foo")
(locations
(list
(nginx-location-configuration
(uri "/")
(body (list "index index.html;"
"auth_basic \"closed site\";"
;; needs to be set manually
"auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/htpasswd;")))))
(ssl-certificate ...)
(ssl-certificate-key ...))
/etc/nginx/htpasswd may contain:
user:<hashed-pwd>
(I don't remember how to generate that hashed password.)
