Nginx secure links
1. Make sure nginx is installed with the module.
nginx -V
If the module is missing, reconfigure nginx with the secure link module enabled. See more here.
nginx version: nginx/1.6.2 built by gcc 4.6.3 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) TLS SNI support enabled configure arguments: --prefix=/etc/nginx --conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf --error-log-path=/var/log/nginx/error.log --http-client-body-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/body --http-fastcgi-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/fastcgi --http-log-path=/var/log/nginx/access.log --http-proxy-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/proxy --http-scgi-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/scgi --http-uwsgi-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/uwsgi --lock-path=/var/lock/nginx.lock --pid-path=/var/run/nginx.pid --with-debug --with-http_addition_module --with-http_dav_module --with-http_geoip_module --with-http_gzip_static_module --with-http_image_filter_module --with-http_realip_module --with-http_stub_status_module --with-http_ssl_module --with-http_sub_module --with-http_xslt_module --with-ipv6 --with-sha1=/usr/include/openssl --with-md5=/usr/include/openssl --with-mail --with-mail_ssl_module --with-http_secure_link_module
2. In the administrative panel, specify nginx for the Temporary URL option.
3. The
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:88/;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
}
location ~* \.(htm|html|jpeg|jpg|gif|png|css|js)$ {
root /var/www;
expires 30d;
}
location ~ ^/test/ {
root /var/www;
# This must match the URI part related to the MD5 hash and expiration time.
secure_link $arg_st,$arg_e; # this must match the URI part related
# This is how the MD5 hash is built from a secret token, a URI and an expiration time.
secure_link_md5 supersecret$uri$arg_e; # 'secret' is the secret token
# # If the hash is incorrect then $secure_link is a null string.
if ($secure_link = "") {
return 403;
}
## The current local time is greater than the specified expiration time.
if ($secure_link = "0") {
return 403;
}
## If everything is ok $secure_link is 1. This needs to be here otherwise you'll get a 404.
rewrite ^/test/(.*)$ /test/$1 break;
}
}
}
4. From the STB the following information is obtained:
