To verify that the Nginx server is correctly using the new TLS certificate and private key for HTTPS connections, follow the steps below.

​
Confirm Nginx TLS configuration

This section uses a Firefox web browser. Using a different browser might require altered actions, but the fundamental steps remain the same.
1
In Firefox, select Settings > Privacy & Security > Certificates > View Certificates.
2
Select Your Certificates > Import to import the PKCS #12 client certificate (ssl-client-pkcs12.p12).
3
Select Authorities > Import to import the CA certificate (ssl-ca-cert.pem).
4
Browse to the IP address of the Nginx website that runs over HTTPS. If you configured a client certificate in the browser for mutual authentication, you should see a lock icon next to the web address.
5
View the certificate that the website served to the browser and confirm that it is the certificate configured in Nginx.
