Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
The web console was incorrectly polling the ClusterVersion resource for users who didn't have authority. This would cause large numbers of "Failed to dial backend: websocket: bad handshake" errors in the console pod log, but otherwise did not cause any issues. We now check the user's permission before trying to poll this resource.

Description Samuel Padgett 2020-06-17 19:34:39 UTC 
Console -- likely the notification drawer -- keeps polling for the ClusterVersion resource when logged in as a normal user who doesn't have authority. This adds a lot of errors to the JS log and causes many unnecessary requests.

We should only request that resource for users who have access. There is a `CLUSTER_VERSION` flag you can check.
Comment 2 Joe Caiani 2020-06-19 14:53:02 UTC 
Move to upcoming sprint. Will look at this on bugfix mondays.
Comment 5 Jakub Hadvig 2020-12-23 16:09:59 UTC 
We did not have time to fix this issue this sprint. Will reevaluate and try to fix in next sprint.

Checked on ocp 4.8 cluster with payload 4.8.0-0.nightly-2021-04-13-171608.
Login console with normal user, check logs in dev console, there are some 403 forbidden errors about promethues/alertmanager and many cookie warnings:
XHRGEThttps://console-openshift-console.apps.qe-groupd-0414.qe.devcluster.openshift.com/api/prometheus/api/v1/rules
[HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden 4905ms]

Cookie “_oauth_proxy” has been rejected for invalid domain. rules

Comment 10 Samuel Padgett 2021-04-22 14:44:32 UTC 
Hi, Yanping. This fix is only for polling ClusterVersion specifically. There will be some other 403 errors that are expected. Are these being polled constantly or only single requests?

Moving back to ON_QA. If there are additional issues, we should open separate bugs to track.

Comment 12 Samuel Padgett 2021-04-22 15:16:17 UTC 
Raising the severity since this floods the log with messages making it harder to troubleshoot other problems.
Comment 13 Yanping Zhang 2021-04-23 02:25:57 UTC 
Checked on ocp 48 cluster with payload 4.8.0-0.nightly-2021-04-22-182303, after normal user login console, check logs in dev console, there is no request for "ClusterVersion" resource. Check in console pod log, there is no this kind of request, neither.
The issue in the bug description has been fixed.
