Upstream: fixed passwords support for dynamic certificates.
Passwords were not preserved in optimized SSL contexts, the bug had
appeared in
d791b4aab (1.23.1), as in the following configuration:
server {
proxy_ssl_password_file password;
proxy_ssl_certificate $ssl_server_name.crt;
proxy_ssl_certificate_key $ssl_server_name.key;
location /original/ {
proxy_pass https://u1/;
}
location /optimized/ {
proxy_pass https://u2/;
}
}
The fix is to always preserve passwords, by copying to the configuration
pool, if dynamic certificates are used. This is done as part of merging
"ssl_passwords" configuration.
To minimize the number of copies, a preserved version is then used for
inheritance. A notable exception is inheritance of preserved empty
passwords to the context with statically configured certificates:
server {
proxy_ssl_certificate $ssl_server_name.crt;
proxy_ssl_certificate_key $ssl_server_name.key;
location / {
proxy_pass ...;
proxy_ssl_certificate example.com.crt;
proxy_ssl_certificate_key example.com.key;
}
}
In this case, an unmodified version (NULL) of empty passwords is set,
to allow reading them from the password prompt on nginx startup.
As an additional optimization, a preserved instance of inherited
configured passwords is set to the previous level, to inherit it
to other contexts:
server {
proxy_ssl_password_file password;
location /1/ {
proxy_pass https://u1/;
proxy_ssl_certificate $ssl_server_name.crt;
proxy_ssl_certificate_key $ssl_server_name.key;
}
location /2/ {
proxy_pass https://u2/;
proxy_ssl_certificate $ssl_server_name.crt;
proxy_ssl_certificate_key $ssl_server_name.key;
}
}
