## SSL Configuration
There are two recommended configurations.
1. Configure SSL Termination with OAuth2 Proxy by providing a `--tls-cert-file=/path/to/cert.pem` and `--tls-key-file=/path/to/cert.key`.
The command line to run `oauth2_proxy` in this configuration would look like this:
```bash
./oauth2_proxy \
--email-domain="yourcompany.com" \
--upstream=http://127.0.0.1:8080/ \
--tls-cert-file=/path/to/cert.pem \
--tls-key-file=/path/to/cert.key \
--cookie-secret=... \
--cookie-secure=true \
--provider=... \
--client-id=... \
--client-secret=...
```
2. Configure SSL Termination with [Nginx](http://nginx.org/) (example config below), Amazon ELB, Google Cloud Platform Load Balancing, or ....
Because `oauth2_proxy` listens on `127.0.0.1:4180` by default, to listen on all interfaces (needed when using an
external load balancer like Amazon ELB or Google Platform Load Balancing) use `--http-address="0.0.0.0:4180"` or
`--http-address="http://:4180"`.
Nginx will listen on port `443` and handle SSL connections while proxying to `oauth2_proxy` on port `4180`.
`oauth2_proxy` will then authenticate requests for an upstream application. The external endpoint for this example
would be `https://internal.yourcompany.com/`.
An example Nginx config follows. Note the use of `Strict-Transport-Security` header to pin requests to SSL
via [HSTS](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Strict_Transport_Security):
```
server {
listen 443 default ssl;
server_name internal.yourcompany.com;
ssl_certificate /path/to/cert.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /path/to/cert.key;
add_header Strict-Transport-Security max-age=2592000;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:4180;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Scheme $scheme;
proxy_connect_timeout 1;
proxy_send_timeout 30;
proxy_read_timeout 30;
}
}
```
The command line to run `oauth2_proxy` in this configuration would look like this:
```bash
./oauth2_proxy \
--email-domain="yourcompany.com" \
--upstream=http://127.0.0.1:8080/ \
--cookie-secret=... \
--cookie-secure=true \
--provider=... \
--reverse-proxy=true \
--client-id=... \
--client-secret=...
```
