      CLB supports custom configurations, allowing you to set the configuration parameters for a single CLB instance, such as client_max_body_size and ssl_protocols, so as to meet your unique needs.

      Note：

      • Each region can have up to 200 entries of custom configurations.
      • Custom configurations are limited to 64K bytes.
      • Currently, each instance can be bound to only one entry of custom configuration.
      • Custom configurations are valid only for layer-7 HTTP/HTTPS CLB (former Application CLB) listeners.

      CLB Custom Configuration Parameters

      Currently, CLB custom configuration supports the following fields:

      Configuration Field Default Value/Recommended Value Parameter Range Description
      ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2 TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3 Version of TLS protocol used
      ssl_ciphers See further below. See further below. Encryption suite
      client_header_timeout 60s [30-120]s Timeout period of obtaining a client request header; in case of timeout, a 408 error will be returned.
      client_header_buffer_size 4k [1-256]k Size of default buffer where a client request header is stored.
      client_body_timeout 60s [30-120]s Timeout period of obtaining a client request body, which is not the time for obtaining the entire body but refers to the idle period without data transmission; in case of timeout, a 408 error will be returned.
      client_max_body_size 60M [1-10240]M
      • Default configuration range: 1 MB – 256 MB; it can be directly configured.
      • Maximum size: 2,048 MB; if client_max_body_size is more than 256 MB, the value of proxy_request_buffering must be "off".
      keepalive_timeout 75s [0-900]s Client-server persistent connection hold time; if it is set to 0, persistent connection is prohibited. If you want to set it to over 900, please submit an application(https://console.cloud.tencent.com/workorder/category?level1_id=6&level2_id=163&source=0&data_title=%E8%B4%9F%E8%BD%BD%E5%9D%87%E8%A1%A1%20LB&step=1). The maximum value you can set is 3600.
      add_header Custom - Specific header field returned to the client in the format of add_header xxx yyy.
      more_set_headers Custom - Specific header field returned to the client in the format of more_set_headers "A:B".
      proxy_connect_timeout 4s [4-120]s Timeout period of upstream backend connection.
      proxy_read_timeout 60s [30-3600]s Timeout period of reading upstream backend response.
      proxy_send_timeout 60s [30-3600]s Timeout period of sending a request to the upstream backend.
      server_tokens on on, off
      • on: displays version information;
      • off: hides version information.
      keepalive_requests 100 [1-10000] Maximum number of requests that can be sent over the client-server persistent connection.
      proxy_buffer_size 4k [1-64]k Size of server response header, which is the size of a single buffer set in proxy_buffer by default; to use proxy_buffer_size, proxy_buffers must be set at the same time.
      proxy_buffers 8 4k [3-8] [4-8]k Buffer quantity and size.
      proxy_request_buffering on on, off
      • on: caches the client request body; the CLB instance caches the request and forwards it to the backend CVM instance in multiple parts after the request is completely received.
      • off: does not cache the client request body; after receiving a request, the CLB instance directly forwards it to the backend CVM instance, which increases pressure on the backend CVM performance.
      proxy_set_header X-Real-Port $remote_port
      • X-Real-Port $remote_port
      • X-clb-stgw-vip $server_addr
      • Stgw-request-id $stgw_request_id
      • X-Forwarded-Port $vport
      • X-Method $request_method
      • X-Uri $uri
      • X-Forwarded-Proto
      • X-Real-Port $remote_port: client port.
      • X-clb-stgw-vip $server_addr: CLB VIP.
      • Stgw-request-id $stgw_request_id: request ID (used in CLB only).
      • X-Forwarded-Port: CLB listener port.
      • X-Method: client request method.
      • X-Uri: client request URI.
      • X-Forwarded-Proto: protocol for the CLB listener port (supported by default).
      send_timeout 60s [1-3600]s Timeout period of data transfer from the server to the client, which is the time interval between two consecutive data transfer actions, not the entire request transfer period.
      ssl_verify_depth 1 [1, 10] Verification depth of the client certificate chain.
      proxy_redirect http:// https:// http:// https:// If the upstream server returns a request to redirect or refresh, for example, HTTP response code 301 or 302, proxy_redirect will reset http to https in the "Location" or "Refresh" field in the HTTP header for safe redirection.
      ssl_early_data off on, off Enables or disables TLS 1.3 0-RTT. Only when the field value of ssl_protocols contains TLSv1.3, ssl_early_data can take effect. You shall consider the risk of replay attacks before enabling ssl_early_data.
      http2_max_field_size 4k [1-256]k Restricts the maximum size of the request header compressed in HPACK.
      error_page - error_page code [ = [ response]] uri A predefined URL will be shown for the specific error code. The default response code defaults to 302. The URI must start with /.
      Note：

      Requirements on the value of proxy_buffer_size and proxy_buffers: 2 * max (proxy_buffer_size, proxy_buffers.size) ≤ (proxy_buffers.num - 1)* proxy_buffers.size; For example, if proxy_buffer_size is "24k", proxy_buffers is "8 8k"; then 2 * 24k = 48k, (8 - 1)* 8k = 56k; and 48k ≤ 56k, so there will be no configuration error.

      ssl_ciphers Configuration Instructions

      The ssl_ciphers encryption suite being configured must be in the same format as that used by OpenSSL. The algorithm list is one or more <cipher strings="">; multiple algorithms should be separated with ":"; ALL represents all algorithms, "!" indicates not to enable an algorithm, and "+" indicates to move an algorithm to the last place.
      The encryption algorithm for default forced disabling is: !aNULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!DES:!RC4:!MD5:!PSK:!DHE.

      Default value:

      ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:kEDH+AESGCM:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA:AES128-GCM-SHA256:AES256-GCM-SHA384:AES128:AES256:AES:HIGH:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!DES:!RC4:!MD5:!PSK:!DHE:3DES;

      Parameter range:

      ECDH-ECDSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDH-RSA-AES256-SHA:ECDH-ECDSA-AES256-SHA:SRP-DSS-AES-256-CBC-SHA:SRP-AES-128-CBC-SHA:ECDH-RSA-AES128-SHA256:DH-RSA-AES128-SHA256:DH-RSA-CAMELLIA128-SHA:DH-DSS-AES256-GCM-SHA384:DH-RSA-AES256-SHA256:AES256-SHA256:SEED-SHA:CAMELLIA256-SHA:ECDH-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDH-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:DH-RSA-AES128-SHA:DH-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:DH-DSS-AES128-SHA:ECDH-RSA-AES128-SHA:DH-DSS-CAMELLIA256-SHA:SRP-AES-256-CBC-SHA:DH-DSS-AES128-SHA256:SRP-RSA-AES-256-CBC-SHA:ECDH-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDH-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:DH-DSS-AES256-SHA256:ECDH-ECDSA-AES256-SHA384:AES128-SHA:DH-DSS-AES128-GCM-SHA256:AES128-SHA256:DH-RSA-SEED-SHA:ECDH-ECDSA-AES128-SHA:IDEA-CBC-SHA:AES128-GCM-SHA256:DH-RSA-CAMELLIA256-SHA:CAMELLIA128-SHA:DH-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:SRP-RSA-AES-128-CBC-SHA:SRP-DSS-AES-128-CBC-SHA:ECDH-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:DH-DSS-CAMELLIA128-SHA:DH-DSS-SEED-SHA:AES256-SHA:DH-RSA-AES256-SHA:kEDH+AESGCM:AES256-GCM-SHA384:DH-DSS-AES256-SHA:HIGH:AES128:AES256:AES:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!DES:!RC4:!MD5:!PSK:!DHE
