The configuration method to enable SSL in the Nginx server _nginx

Generate certificate
you can generate a simple certificate by using the following steps:
First, enter the directory where you want to create the certificate and private key, for example:

$ cd/usr/local/nginx/conf

Create the server private key, the command will let you enter a password:

$ OpenSSL genrsa-des3-out server.key 1024

To create a certificate (CSR) for a signing request:

$ OpenSSL req-new-key server.key-out SERVER.CSR

Remove the required password when loading SSL-supported Nginx and using the private key above:

$ CP server.key server.key.org
$ openssl rsa-in server.key.org-out Server.key

Enable an SSL virtual host

Write in the nginx.conf configuration file:

server {
   listen 443;
   server_name example.com;

   root/apps/www;
   Index index.html index.htm;

   SSL on;
   SSL_CERTIFICATE/ETC/NGINX/SSL/NGINX.CRT;
   Ssl_certificate_key/etc/nginx/ssl/nginx.key;

#    Ssl_protocols SSLv3 TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
#    Ssl_ciphers all:! Adh:! Export56:rc4+rsa:+high:+medium:+low:+sslv2:+exp;
#    ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;

}

Where ssl_certificate represents the CA file, Ssl_certificate_key represents the key file.

If you want to force HTTP requests to be transferred to HTTPS, you can do this:

server {
listen   ;
server_name example.me;

return https://$server _name$request_uri;
}
