Enable SSL Passthrough

[EdSalzedo]

Hi,

I'd like to be able to add --enable-ssl-passthrough as an argument for starting up NGINX. I currently can't find a way of doing it while using the app-routing plugin, would this be possible?

Thanks,

Ed

Hi @EdSalzedo! Thanks for reaching out.

It's not possible to enable ssl-passthrough globally today but you can enable it through Ingress annotations on individual Ingresses. This is documented here.

We can look into adding a way of configuring this globally to App Routing. Tagging @sabbour so we can add it to the backlog.

Thanks!

Hi, thanks for responding @OliverMKing!

I think without -enable-ssl-passthrough flag set on startup, the nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-passthrough annotation has no effect based on the testing I've done, although I could have got that wrong.

It'd be useful to be able to configure it at some point so thank you!

You are correct! The documentation even says it, which I missed. We will look into this.

I also have a use-case that needs this feature so forgive me a +1

Another similar use case is enabling -use-forwarded-headers , we're using Azure Front Door which is setting these values and then getting overwritten by Nginx.

Have to deploy manually for now till this is enabled.

@zjylo: Can you describe your workaround? We are currently in a similar situation.

Internet -> Azure Frontdoor -> AKS Nginx -> Container
