Nginx

Does ASL work with Nginx?

Yes. Nginx is protected through the ASL T-WAF module.

How to install the T-WAF

As root, run this command:

yum install asl-waf-module

How to configure the T-WAF for nginx

Step 1) Log into ASL.

Step 2) Click on the "Configuration" tab.

Step 3) Click on the "WAF" tab and select "WAF configuration".

Step 4) Click the "Add" button.

Step 5) Select "Local Web Server" from the "Add protection for" drop down.

Step 6) Select the port that Nginx runs on. Normally this is port 80.

Optional Step 7) Check the SSL box (if you want to protect the SSL service(s) provided by Nginx)

Enter the file system path to your SSL certificate, and SSL key in the "Path to SSL Certificate" and "Path to SSL Key file" boxes.

Step 8) Click Save

Note: Nginx does not support the WAF in embedded mode.
