AES-NI support with nginx

addis_a · February 20, 2015, 4:38am

Hi,

Is AES-NI is enabled in nginx 1.7.10 by default, through the openssl evp
library (https://www.openssl.org/docs/crypto/evp.html), or does it have
to
be enabled somehow?

ssl_engine aesni; gives me an error upon testing the configuration.

Thanks,
Anlu

AES-NI is already on, there is no configuration option and it will work
as
long as your cpu supports it.

Use official openssl distributions, not some github fork and don’t
configure any “engines” in nginx.

Best thing for you to do is to used precompiled binaries from nginx.org
or your linux distro, instead of compiling them on your own.
