TLS SNI support disabled

Server NGINX
1

I was rebuilding nginx on a staging server and noticed: TLS SNI support
disabled

/usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx -V

nginx version: nginx/1.0.15
built by gcc 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-48/CentOS 5.5 Final)
TLS SNI support disabled

Is that something I should be concerned about?

Thanks in advance.

Most likely not. Great feature, not widely supported across browsers
yet.

TLS/SNI support is enabled if you build nginx “–with-http_ssl_module”
and if you have an recent enough version of OpenSSL on your system. I
don’t think OpenSSL is recent enough on RHEL/CentOS 5.x but should be in
6.x.

Most likely not. Great feature, not widely supported across browsers
yet.

If you exclude Windoze XP and older, and older versions of MacOS, it is
fairly widely supported. I think the biggest problem is the still large
installed base of XP.
