An administrator needs to add a new user to an existing htpasswd file for NGINX Basic Authentication. The file already contains several users. Which command should be used to add the new user without overwriting existing entries?

htpasswd -c /etc/nginx/.htpasswd newuser

htpasswd /etc/nginx/.htpasswd newuser

openssl passwd -apr1 newuser >> /etc/nginx/.htpasswd

echo 'newuser:password' >> /etc/nginx/.htpasswd

An administrator needs to remove a user from the htpasswd file used by NGINX Basic Authentication. The user's access should be revoked immediately. Which command should be used?

sed -i '/^username:/d' /etc/nginx/.htpasswd

htpasswd -D /etc/nginx/.htpasswd username

htpasswd -B /etc/nginx/.htpasswd username

An NGINX configuration includes the directives `auth_basic` and `auth_basic_user_file`. What is the purpose of the `auth_basic` directive?

It defines the hashing algorithm used to store passwords in the user file.

It restricts access to a specific IP address or subnet.

It enables HTTP Basic Authentication and sets the realm name shown in the browser login prompt.

It specifies the path to the file containing usernames and hashed passwords.

An administrator needs to create a new htpasswd file for NGINX Basic Authentication. The file should contain a user named 'admin' with a bcrypt-hashed password. Which command should be used?

htpasswd -c -B /etc/nginx/.htpasswd admin

htpasswd -c -s /etc/nginx/.htpasswd admin

htpasswd -c -p /etc/nginx/.htpasswd admin

htpasswd -B /etc/nginx/.htpasswd admin

What is the primary purpose of the `auth_request` module in NGINX?

To delegate authentication decisions to an external service via a subrequest

To rate-limit authentication attempts from the same IP address

To validate client certificates using the system's CA store

To store user credentials in an encrypted cookie
