I have an nginx proxy to redirect http requests with a specified port to another https url.
Here is my configuration so far:
server {
listen 59848;
location / {
resolver 8.8.8.8;
proxy_pass https://example.com$uri$is_args$args;
}
}
Note that "example.com" is only used for this example and later I will restrict the request to be sent only from localhost.
This works just fine, as long as the server behind the "proxy_pass" url uses a valid SSL certificate signed by a well known CA Authority (which root certificate somehow used by nginx).
But I have the problem that I have to use a custom self-signed SSL client Certificate on the nginx-side.
Does somebody know how to install this self-signed certificate to nginx?

nginx allows usage of self-signed certificates by default:
remove the
proxy_ssl_verify
directive or set it tooff
