Hello,  
I have a web site, e.g., [www.example.com](http://www.example.com)  
under it, i have several sub-domains, e.g., /register, /query, /report.

I have a requirement that,  
/query is for port 80  
/register is for port 443, but with server side SSL certificate  
verification.  
/report is for port 443 , with both server and client side SSL  
certificate verification.

I want to know whether NGX config can do this ?

I have the problem to config /register and /report under port 443.

Thanks,  
Yanxin

server {  
listen 80;  
server\_name [www.example.com](http://www.example.com);  
location /query {  
…  
}  
}

server {  
listen 443;  
server\_name [www.example.com](http://www.example.com);

```
ssl on;
ssl_certificate www.nginx.com.crt;
ssl_certificate_key www.nginx.com.key;

ssl_verify_client optional;
ssl_client_certificate CA.crt;

location /register {
     ...
}

location /report {
     if ($ssl_client_verify != SUCCESS) {
         return 403;
     }
     ...
}

```

Thank you Igor!!  
NGX is so powerful. It’s working for me.

Another question, for CA cert, I also need to verify PEM pass phase.  
Can I do it in NGX config?

Thanks,  
Yanxin
