Fixed In Version:
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: A change in gophercloud/utils introduced a custom HTTP client to make use of the self-signed certificate specified in the clouds.yaml file. This change however removed all the settings that came with the DefaultTransport, including handling of proxy environment variables and default timeouts. Consequence: Installation that uses both self-signed certificat and proxy fail. Fix: Resolve the issue in gophercloud/utils by ensuring the custom HTTP client inherits its settings from the default transport and re-vendor the fixed library. Result: It is now possible to install OCP when using a proxy and custom CA certificates bundle to connect to OpenStack.

Comment 1 Martin André 2021-03-26 09:28:52 UTC
I mistakenly made a lite copy of the 4.8 bz instead of a full copy and we lost the comments, so I'm copying below comment https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1925216#c10 that summarizes the issue:


Indeed it appears that gophercloud ignores the proxy environment variables when the clouds.yaml includes the cacert property to connect to a cloud using a self-signed certificate.

I've raised the issue in their issue tracker [1] and submitted a fix for it [2]. This code is new in 4.7 which explains why we're not seeing this issue in 4.6.

Once the gophercloud change merges we'll then have to revendor the dependency and backport the change.

Comment 6 Jon Uriarte 2021-05-20 12:40:59 UTC
Verified in OCP 4.7.0-0.nightly-2021-05-16-105214.

The underlying OSP is 13.0.15 (2021-03-24.1) with TLS (and self-signed cert) in public endpoints enabled.

I've configured a squid proxy so all the requests from the installer host (where I run openshift-install commands from) go through it,
and set the proxy env vars in the installer host:
$ env | grep proxy
https_proxy=https://dummy:dummy@10.46.22.225:3130
http_proxy=http://dummy:dummy@10.46.22.225:3128

The cacert param in the clouds.yaml file in the installer host points to a pem file that includes both proxy's CA cert and
Openstack's CA cert (required as system wide CA trust bundle is not considered anymore).

10.46.22.225 is the proxy's IP (and installer host)
10.46.22.204 is Openstack's API IP

'openshift-install create manifests' command is not ignoring the http_proxy and https_proxy env vars as described in the original bz.
