Proxy Configuration to Access Hosts

Problem

Configure host to connect to Platform9 Cloud (Management Plane) via proxy server instead of direct connectivity.

Environment

Platform9 Managed OpenStack - All Versions
Platform9 Managed Kubernetes - All Versions

Procedure

First test host side connectivity via proxy by referring to Test Host Connectivity to the Management Plane via Proxy.
Once connectivity is successfully tested, create file /etc/pf9/comms_proxy_cfg.json in the following format and substitute the respective values.

{

"http_proxy": {

"protocol": "[http|https]",

"host": "[PROXY FQDN/IP]",

"port": [PROXY PORT],

"user": "[PROXY USERNAME]",

"pass": "[PROXY PASSWORD]"

}

}

Note: If username has backward slash(\) characters then escape each one of them with an additional backward slash like \\

Restart the pf9-comms and pf9-sidekick services.

service pf9-comms restart

service pf9-sidekick restart

Tail comms log ( /var/log/pf9/comms/comms.log) for errors.
Run the command below and verify connectivity.

curl http://localhost:8158/keystone
