# Multi TLS certificate termination

This example uses 2 different certificates to terminate SSL for 2 hostnames.

1. Deploy the controller by creating the rc in the parent dir
2. Create tls secrets for foo.bar.com and bar.baz.com as indicated in the yaml
3. Create multi-tls.yaml

This should generate a segment like:

    $ kubectl exec -it nginx-ingress-controller-6vwd1 -- cat /etc/nginx/nginx.conf | grep "foo.bar.com" -B 7 -A 35
        server {
            listen 80;
            listen 443 ssl http2;
            ssl_certificate /etc/nginx-ssl/default-foobar.pem;
            ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx-ssl/default-foobar.pem;

            server_name foo.bar.com;

            if ($scheme = http) {
                return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
            }

            location / {
                proxy_set_header Host                   $host;

                # Pass Real IP
                proxy_set_header X-Real-IP              $remote_addr;

                # Allow websocket connections
                proxy_set_header                        Upgrade           $http_upgrade;
                proxy_set_header                        Connection        $connection_upgrade;

                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For        $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host       $host;
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto      $pass_access_scheme;

                proxy_connect_timeout                   5s;
                proxy_send_timeout                      60s;
                proxy_read_timeout                      60s;

                proxy_redirect                          off;
                proxy_buffering                         off;

                proxy_http_version                      1.1;

                proxy_pass http://default-http-svc-80;
            }

And you should be able to reach your nginx service or http-svc service using a hostname switch:

    $  kubectl get ing
    NAME      RULE          BACKEND   ADDRESS                         AGE
    foo-tls   -                       104.154.30.67                   13m
              foo.bar.com
              /             http-svc:80
              bar.baz.com
              /             nginx:80
