Fixed In Version: openshift-origin-broker-1.16.2.6-1, rubygem-openshift-origin-controller-1.35.1.3-1
Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
Previously, application URLs were presented to developers as HTTP URLs only, for example when listing their applications using the client tools. This enhancement adds the ability for administrators to require that all applications advertise HTTPS URLs instead. This requires setting the APP_ADVERTISE_HTTPS parameter to "true" in the /etc/openshift/broker.conf file on brokers, then restarting the openshift-broker service.

Description thunt 2014-09-21 22:00:08 UTC
Description of problem:
Customer policy requires that all URL's use https, including application URL's.

Customer requests that the console and other utilities use https when presenting application URL's

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.1.*

How reproducible:
Very

Steps to Reproduce:
N/A

Actual results:
Current application URL is presented as http://myapp-mydomain.example.com/

Expected results:

Additional info:
PR to follow.

Implemented as configurable option based on broker.conf boolean:- 
"APP_REQUIRE_HTTPS"

This may be a different solution to BZ 1042920

The existing option in broker.conf can do this?

# Whether cartridges that specify direct SSL connection to the gear
# are allowed, denied or forced.
SSL_ENDPOINT="allow"
# SSL_ENDPOINT="deny"
# SSL_ENDPOINT="force"

(In reply to Meng Bo from comment #2)

> # Whether cartridges that specify direct SSL connection to the gear
> # are allowed, denied or forced.
> SSL_ENDPOINT="allow"

This setting is not really related... has to do with ssl_to_gear in the cartridge manifest, i.e. whether the cartridge can/must handle direct SSL connections at its external port.

This bug has to do with what the broker and rhc tell the user is the app's web URL. The app is exposed at both :80 and :443, cleartext and secure, it's just that the cleartext URL is given and they'd like the option to report the secure one instead (especially so if they want to disable the cleartext port).

all url of apps use "http"
2. configure the broker
# vim /etc/openshift/broker.conf
APP_ADVERTISE_HTTPS="true"
3. create some apps, and show app
all url use https
