Activated with the "proxy_protocol" parameter of the "listen" directive.
Obtained information is passed to the auth_http script in Proxy-Protocol-Addr,
Proxy-Protocol-Port, Proxy-Protocol-Server-Addr, and Proxy-Protocol-Server-Port
headers.
Similarly to 40e8ce405859 in the stream module, this reduces the time
accept mutex is held. This also simplifies following changes to
introduce PROXY protocol support.
The proxy_smtp_auth directive instructs nginx to authenticate users
on backend via the AUTH command (using the PLAIN SASL mechanism),
similar to what is normally done for IMAP and POP3.
If xclient is enabled along with proxy_smtp_auth, the XCLIENT command
won't try to send the LOGIN parameter.
Previously only one address was used by the listen directive handler even if
host name resolved to multiple addresses. Now a separate listening socket is
created for each address.
This is needed to allow TLS client certificate auth to work. With
ssl_verify_client configured, the auth daemon can choose to allow the
connection to proceed based on the certificate data.
This has been tested with Thunderbird for IMAP only. I've not yet found a
client that will do client certificate auth for POP3 or SMTP, and the method is
not really documented anywhere that I can find. That said, its simple enough
that the way I've done is probably right.
The IPV6_V6ONLY macro is now checked only while parsing appropriate flag
and when using the macro.
The ipv6only field in listen structures is always initialized to 1,
even if not supported on a given platform. This is expected to prevent
a module compiled without IPV6_V6ONLY from accidentally creating dual
sockets if loaded into main binary with proper IPV6_V6ONLY support.
The "ssl_verify_client", "ssl_verify_depth", "ssl_client_certificate",
"ssl_trusted_certificate", and "ssl_crl" directives introduced to control
SSL client certificate verification in mail proxy module.
If there is a certificate, detail of the certificate are passed to
the auth_http script configured via Auth-SSL-Verify, Auth-SSL-Subject,
Auth-SSL-Issuer, Auth-SSL-Serial, Auth-SSL-Fingerprint headers. If
the auth_http_pass_client_cert directive is set, client certificate
in PEM format will be passed in the Auth-SSL-Cert header (urlencoded).
If there is no required certificate provided during an SSL handshake
or certificate verification fails then a protocol-specific error is
returned after the SSL handshake and the connection is closed.
Based on previous work by Sven Peter, Franck Levionnois and Filipe Da Silva.
Basically, this does the following two changes (and corresponding
modifications of related code):
1. Does not reset session buffer unless it's reached it's end, and always
wait for LF to terminate command (even if we detected invalid command).
2. Record command name to make it available for handlers (since now we
can't assume that command starts from s->buffer->start).
There is a general consensus that this change results in better
consistency between different operating systems and differently
tuned operating systems.
Note: this changes the width and meaning of the ipv6only field
of the ngx_listening_t structure. 3rd party modules that create
their own listening sockets might need fixing.
