What is the purpose of the ssl_client_certificate directive in a mutual TLS setup?

To enable client certificate verification

To specify the CA certificate used to verify client certificates

To specify the server's own certificate

To define the cipher suites for client connections

What is the purpose of the ssl_ciphers directive in NGINX?

To set the SSL/TLS protocol versions

To enable client certificate verification

To specify the certificate chain for the server

In an upstream SSL configuration, what does NGINX do when communicating with the backend server?

It decrypts the backend's traffic before forwarding to the client

It encrypts the connection to the backend using SSL/TLS

It uses a separate TLS session for each request

You are renewing an SSL certificate for your NGINX server. You have received a new certificate file and key. You want to update the configuration to use the new files. Which steps are necessary?

Only replace the certificate file; the key does not need to be updated.

Replace the certificate and key files in the paths specified by ssl_certificate and ssl_certificate_key, then reload NGINX.

Restart the NGINX service after replacing the files.

Update the ssl_certificate directive to point to the new file, but keep the old key file.
