Problem

  1. Host authorization fails as the pf9-kube service fails to finish execution due to the error "Timed out waiting for "authn_webhook_listening".

  1. We can observe that the bouncer logs on the host indicate that it cannot assign the requested address.

Environment

  • Platform9 Managed Kubernetes - All Versions

Cause

  1. DNS resolution for localhost resolves to the conflicting IP address observed in bouncer logs.

root@user:# nslookup localhostServer: 10.64.0.10Address: 10.64.0.10#53Non-authoritative answer:Name: localhost.lab.org.net[http://localhost.lab.org.net]Address: 10.17.0.170

Resolution

  1. Remove the conflicting address from the DNS configuration and restart the pf9-kube service.
