I'm trying to make my own MDM server and I'm having trouble allowing nginx to proxy the connection. The web app I'm making can accept http requests so I require nginx. I'm using a certificate from letsencrypt.
Every time I try to enroll a phone it instantly rejects at nginx. I have tried multiple cipher options in nginx.
I found the following link and my cert supports all except the DHE ones but they say you only need 1.

What else can I do?
