Fixed In Version:
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: The registry used to append forwarded target port to redirected location urls. Registry client gets confused by the received location containing superfluous port and cannot match it against the original host. This happened when exposed with tls-termination other than passthrough. Consequence: Client's new request to the target location lacks credentials. As a consequence, image push fails due to authorization error. Fix: Registry was rebased to newer version which fixes forwarding processing logic. Result: Registry now doesn't confuse its clients. Clients can push images successfully to the exposed registry using arbitrary tls-termination.

Description Alexander Koksharov 2017-07-17 09:42:35 UTC 
Description of problem:

Docker registry is exposed with tls passthrough route. All is working fine.
However, client is getting openshift's self-signed certificate when connected to the service.

Attempts to change route to anything else other then tls-passthrough brick authentication. Even login is successfull, push fails. Here is an example:
# docker login -u test -p 5ah1OnexCWZA-OVi1I1aqP3QGRwurfdodx6qZYmfD4A docker-registry-default.apps.lex.lab
Login Succeeded
# docker push docker-registry-default.apps.lex.lab/test1/alpine
The push refers to a repository [docker-registry-default.apps.lex.lab/test1/alpine]

I smell a promising bugfix candidate: https://github.com/openshift/origin/pull/14866

I'll confirm this soon.
Comment 4 Michal Minar 2017-08-01 11:14:46 UTC 
Unfortunately, https://github.com/openshift/origin/pull/14866 doesn't fix the issue. I'm debugging further.
Comment 8 Oleg Bulatov 2017-09-04 12:21:01 UTC 
Fixed in upstream, rebase [1] merged into 3.7.

Comment 9 Michal Minar 2017-09-06 10:03:17 UTC 
Added doc text.
Comment 11 Michal Minar 2017-09-08 14:25:27 UTC 
This needs to be double-checked.

@tomckay found out that with the fix in question, :443 suffix added to registry names causes timeouts.

We need to make sure that our registry can be addressed both with&without the :443 suffix because many customers added it to their external registries as a work-around for the broken port forwarding.

This needs to be further investigated.
Comment 12 Michal Minar 2017-09-27 16:29:21 UTC 
I've successfully pushed with&without the :443 to the recent docker registry with the fix applied.

Therefore, I'm switching this to QA for confirmation. And I'll start with the back-porting effort.
