Book Description
This is the 2nd of three installments of NGINX Cookbook. This book is about NGINX the web server, reverse proxy, load balancer, and HTTP cache. This installment focuses on security aspects and features of NGINX and NGINX Plus, the licensed version of the NGINX server. Throughout this installment the reader will learn the basics of controlling access and limiting abuse and misuse of their web assets and applications. Security concepts such as encryption of web traffic and basic HTTP authentication are explained as applicable to the NGINX server. More advanced topics are covered as well, such as setting up NGINX to verify authentication via third-party systems as well as through JSON Web Token Signature validation and integrating with single sign-on providers. This installment covers some amazing features of NGINX and NGINX Plus, such as securing links for time-limited access and security, as well as enabling web application firewall capabilities of NGINX Plus with the ModSecurity module. Some of the plug-and-play modules in this installment are only available through the paid NGINX Plus subscription. However, this does not mean that the core open source NGINX server is not capable of these securities.
This book is published as open-access, which means it is freely available to read, download, and share without restrictions.
