Configuring SSL Protocols and Cipher Suites on nginx with Plesk

This is necessary to avoid security warnings on most browsers released after March 2015

The main configuration file is usually /etc/nginx/plesk.conf.d/server.conf

However, there will be cases when this will need to be applied on individual virtual hosts. Each virtual host will have a configuration file (/etc/nginx/plesk.conf.d/vhosts/XXDOMAINXX.conf)

The relevant configuration files will need to contain the following lines:

ssl_protocols TLSv1.2 TLS1.1 TLSv1;
ssl_ciphers HIGH:ADH:MD5:aNULL:eNULL:MEDIUM:LOW:EXP:kEDH;
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
