The ngx_http_userid_module module sets cookies suitable for client identification. Received and set cookies can be logged using the embedded variables $uid_got and $uid_set. This module is compatible with the mod_uid module for Apache.

Example Configuration

userid         on;
userid_name    uid;
userid_domain  example.com;
userid_path    /;
userid_expires 365d;
userid_p3p     'policyref="/w3c/p3p.xml", CP="CUR ADM OUR NOR STA NID"';
