Are there any issues with Inbound whitelisting on an SSL connection?

"How Do I...?"

Hi,

We are JUST (literally) getting started working with NGINX. What we are trying to accomplish with NGINX is to provide whitelisting on some of our inbound connections.

I JUST got the NGINX instance installed on a CENTOS machine and so far am only working/testing with tweaking the default out-of-the-box conf file, but we will want to have whitelisting on several different ports and also some connnections are going to be SSL.

Will either of those situations be a problem with NGINX and inbound whitelisting?

Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,

whitelisting usually meaning a cybersecurity strategy to approve IP address, etc.
I see you want to have a running NGINX instance, that:

  • listening several different ports;
  • SSL termination.

The answers for such topics can be found in NGINX OSS/Plus Admin Guide, Admin Guide | NGINX Documentation

Hope that helps.
