I have multiple server blocks in my config, all of them using the same file as auth_basic_user_file. Now we started to work with some external workforce, and we’d like to add some extra users to one of the server blocks, while keeping the original ones, too. Although the documentation doesn’t state it, using multiple auth_basic_user_file is not allowed.
Is there a way to do this, without manually merging the password files together? I’m using nginx 1.11.5

yes, this is possible. See http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_auth_basic_module.html
Create a separate password file for the server that should have multiple users. Within the
serverblock that should have multiple auth users setauth_basic_user_filepath to this new password file.
Insert the original and the additional user info in new password file like this:
name1:password1
name2:password2
Don't forget to test and reload nginx config:
nginx -t
service nginx reload

So you suggest to copy the old password file and add the extra accounts to it? Because that’s exactly what I want to avoid, as if a new intern or employee arrives I have to add their accounts to two files.

Sorry, I misunderstood your requirements. I thougt the hint you needed was that password files can handle more than one user. Other options that might better fit your needs could be: a) Build nginx with Auth Digest module. b) Create user and group text files and a script to combine them to single password files for each server after a user change. More info for both options see here
