Description

The access control module provides advanced access control based on variables. Unlike the standard allow/deny directives that work with IP addresses, this module allows access decisions based on any NGINX variable, enabling flexible access policies. To enable this module after installation, add the following to /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and reload NGINX: load_module modules/ngx_http_access_control_module.so; Alternatively, enable all installed modules by adding this line to the top of /etc/nginx/nginx.conf: include /usr/share/nginx/modules/*.conf;

Compatible with all RHEL-based distributions, including CentOS, AlmaLinux, Oracle Linux, Rocky Linux, etc.
