下面记录下64位Ubuntu 16.04.1下，Nginx 1.10.1配置HTTPS的方法(亲测日期2016.10.11)：
ubuntu apt-get install nginx 的 Nginx默认是支持SSL的。
1、生成自签名证书:
cd /var/www
mkdir ssl
cd ssl
sudo openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024
sudo openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr
sudo openssl rsa -in server.key -out server_nopwd.key
sudo openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server_nopwd.key -out server.crt
其中证书的生成过程大致如下
proto@ubuntu:~$ sudo openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr
Enter pass phrase for server.key: ←输入第一步中生成server.key时设置的密码
You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default value,
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.
-----
Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]:CN ←输入国家代码
State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]:CHONGQING ← 输入省名
Locality Name (eg, city) []:CHONGQING ←输入城市名
Organization Name (eg, company) [Internet Widgits Pty Ltd]:MIKE ← 输入公司名
Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:MIKE ← 输入组织单位名
Common Name (eg, YOUR name) []:www.mike.me ← 输入主机名
Email Address []:easylife206@gmail.com ←输入电子邮箱地址
← 回车
← 回车
2、配置Nginx HTTPS访问：
sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
server {
listen 443 ssl default_server；
listen [::]:443 ssl default_server;
###其他配置
ssl on;
ssl_certificate /var/www/ssl/server.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /var/www/ssl/server_nopwd.key;
###
}
OK，然后我们重新加载下nginx配置文件：service nginx restart
