AMAZON API Gateway(2)Client Side SSL with NGINX

AMAZON API Gateway(2)Client Side SSL with NGINX or NodeJS

1 API Gateway to Connect to AWS API
https://aws.amazon.com/api-gateway/faqs/

Can Amazon API Gateway work within an Amazon VPC?
Can I verify that it is API Gateway calling my backend?

2 Stop the Apache on my Local for 80 Port
sudo apachectl stop

3 Start with NGINX
Start the nginx server
> sudo sbin/nginx

I install the latest stable version of nginx  nginx-1.6.3

Error Message 1:
nginx: [emerg] unknown directive "ssl_client_certificate" in /home/carl/tool/nginx-1.6.3/conf/nginx.conf:43

Solution:

4 Configure the Client Side Certificate Validation

This is the mock server output all the headers:
require('http').createServer(function(req, res) {
    res.writeHead(200)
    res.write("<pre>")
    res.write(req.method + " " + req.url + " HTTP/" + req.httpVersion + "\n")
   for (var name in req.headers) {
        res.write(name + ": " + req.headers[name] + "\n")
    }
    res.end("</pre>")
}).listen(8080)

This is the output
GET / HTTP/1.0
x-ssl-client-verify: NONE
host: 127.0.0.1:8080
connection: close
cache-control: max-age=0
accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8
upgrade-insecure-requests: 1
user-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_3) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/48.0.2564.103 Safari/537.36
accept-encoding: gzip, deflate, sdch
accept-language: en-US,en;q=0.8,zh-TW;q=0.6,zh;q=0.4

This is the nginx.conf file, it seems that I need to make the ssl on to make it work.
        ssl on;
        ssl_certificate /home/carl/install/keys/ca.crt;
        ssl_certificate_key /home/carl/install/keys/ca.key;

        ssl_client_certificate /opt/nginx/conf/certs/ca.crt;
        ssl_verify_depth     1;
        ssl_verify_client optional;

        location / {
           proxy_pass    http://127.0.0.1:8080;
           proxy_set_header X-SSL-client-serial $ssl_client_serial;
           proxy_set_header X-SSL-client-s-dn $ssl_client_s_dn;
           proxy_set_header X-SSL-client-i-dn $ssl_client_i_dn;
           proxy_set_header X-SSL-client-session-id $ssl_session_id;
           proxy_set_header X-SSL-client-verify $ssl_client_verify;
        }

If I need client side certificate validation, I need to to have ssl on, it is a little complex than I thought. Reading more documents.

If I want to do that within nodeJS.
var https = require('https');
var fs = require('fs');

var options = {
  key:    fs.readFileSync('/home/carl/install/keys/ca.key'),
  cert:   fs.readFileSync('/home/carl/install/keys/ca.crt'),

  // This is necessary only if using the client certificate authentication.
  requestCert: true,

  // This is necessary only if the client uses the self-signed certificate.
  ca: [ fs.readFileSync('ssl/ca.crt') ]
};

https.createServer(options, function (req, res) {
  res.writeHead(200);
  res.write("Hello.\n");
  if(req.client.authorized) {
    res.write('Access granted.\n');
  }
  else {
    res.write('Access denied.\n');
  }
  res.end();
}).listen(8081);

Hello.
Access denied.
