Setting Up Kong Environment Variables for Nginx-Kong Configuration Inject client certificate on X-SSL-CERT header

[dsnr-coder]

Hey everyone,

I'm currently tackling the task of configuring Kong with Nginx, specifically aiming to inject certain values into the nginx-kong.conf file using Kong environment variables. These attributes are crucial for setting the client certificate in the X-SSL-CERT header, which is utilized by the upstream for certificate-based authentication:

Kong Version: 3.3.0

• ssl_client_certificate
• ssl_verify_client
• proxy_set_header X-SSL-CERT $ssl_client_escaped_cert;

I've been delving into the Kong documentation, but I haven't quite nailed down how to handle this particular setup. Can anyone offer guidance or perhaps share their experience with configuring Kong environment variables for Nginx-Kong in a similar context?

Your insights would be immensely valuable. Many thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide!
