NGINX Plus R28 introduces TLS metrics for handshake errors and certificate verification failures, support for PROXY protocol v2 in cloud private services, and more.
Announcing NGINX Plus R27
NGINX Plus R27 introduces keepalive connections for health checks, support for Kernel TLS, more TLS metrics, custom error codes for JWT validation failures, and more.
Updates to NGINX Unit for Summer 2021
NGINX Unit 1.23.0 and 1.24.0 introduce support for the SNI extension to TLS, definition of OpenSSL configuration commands, MIME filtering and path restrictions for static content, and multiple Python scripts in one app. Also, you no longer need to modify Node.js apps to run them in Unit.
Update: Using Free Let’s Encrypt SSL/TLS Certificates with NGINX
Learn how to use the Let’s Encrypt client to generate RSA certificates and automatically configure NGINX to use the newly issued certificates.
Integrating Fortanix Self-Defending KMS with NGINX and NGINX Plus
With the Fortanix Self-Defending Key Management Service, you can offload TLS crytographic processing from your NGINX and NGINX Plus servers, and safely store your TLS keys for on-demand uploading into the NGINX Plus key-value store. We provide complete instructions for both use cases.
Using the NGINX Plus Key-Value Store to Secure Ephemeral SSL Keys from HashiCorp Vault
In high-security environments, it's important to store sensitive data like SSL certificate-key pairs in memory only, not on disk. Here we show how to generate ephemeral SSL key pairs using HashiCorp Vault and store them in the in-memory NGINX Plus key-value store.
Ask NGINX | April 2019
In this installment of our "Ask NGINX" series, we discuss how NGINX and NGINX Plus work with Diffie-Hellman, support for Datagram Transport Layer Security, how to control the lifetime of content in the cache, and how to add NGINX ModSecurity WAF to an NGINX Plus subscription.
Sampling Requests with NGINX Conditional Logging
With NGINX conditional logging, you can log a subset of requests which have defined characteristics. This blog uses it to solve a real-world customer use case: the need to reject obsolete and insecure SSL/TLS ciphers without excluding legitimate users of legacy devices.
Protecting SSL Private Keys in NGINX with HashiCorp Vault
The second post of our series about protecting SSL private keys shows how to set up HashiCorp Vault to store the passwords that protect private keys, and to configure NGINX to retrieve the passwords. We also discuss using a hardware security module for even greater security.
Announcing NGINX Plus R18
NGINX Plus R18 introduces dynamic loading of SSL/TLS certificates, enhances our OpenID Connect reference implementation, and supports port ranges for virtual servers. It also includes enhancements to the key-value store, health checks, NGINX Plus clustering, and the NGINX JavaScript module.
