In my experience, you can easily use nginx to pass the request to an auth-only app which then tells nginx from where to serve the success/failure response. I haven't seen a uncomplicated way of getting nginx itself to do the auth entirely. I suppose you could write an oauth implementation in lua/perl/etc and embed it in nginx, but I'd personally argue that would be a mistake in most architectures. J
