<p>for some legacy systems, I need to activate TLSv1.1 on my NGINX ingress controller until they are switched to TLSv1.2.
It should be fairly easy according to the documentation, but I am getting a handshake error. Looks like Nginx is not serving any certificate at all.</p>

<p>ConfigMap:</p>

<pre><code>apiVersion: v1

<p>A sum-up of questions:</p>

<p>1) How to enable TLSv1.1 on Nginx ingress?</p>

<p>2) Can I see in the logs (where) which tls version was used to connect? I cannot find anything with kubectl logs -n Nginx pod?</p>

<p>For anyone else having this problem. -> But please consider deactivating TLSv1 and TLSv1.1 as soon as possible!!!</p>
