Description Joniel Pasqualetto 2021-11-19 15:38:30 UTC
Description of problem:

After the removal of the setting remote_addr, customer that used that feature need to add the parameter trusted_proxies on /etc/foreman/settings.yaml.

This works, but there's no way to make that permanent and satellite-installer overwrites the settings.yaml on every execution.

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


Actual results: 

Not being able to use this feature, some provisioning deployments involving capsules and user-data won't work due to Satellite not being able to identify the source IP of the VM.

Expected results:

A way to specify a list of trusted_proxies that may be forward requests to Satellite.

Additional info:

Comment 1 Eric Helms 2022-05-19 13:51:10 UTC
This will be available when Satellite 6.11.0 is released.

Comment 2 Brad Buckingham 2022-07-18 23:45:01 UTC
Based upon comment 1, aligning to 6.12.

Comment 3 Gaurav Talreja 2022-09-23 17:59:48 UTC
Verified.

Tested on Satellite 6.12.0 Snap 11.0
Version: foreman-installer-3.3.0.3-1.el8sat.noarch

Steps:
1. # satellite-installer --foreman-trusted-proxies 127.0.0.1/8 --foreman-trusted-proxies ::1 --foreman-trusted-proxies <ip-address-of-eth0-on-capsule>

2. # cat /etc/foreman/settings.yaml | grep -A3 trusted
# List of trusted IPs / networks. Default: IPv4 and IPV6 localhost addresses.
# If overwritten, localhost addresses (127.0.0.1/8, ::1) need to be in trusted_proxies IP list.
# More details: https://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionDispatch/RemoteIp.html
:trusted_proxies:
 - '127.0.0.1/8'
 - '::1'
 - '<ip-address-of-eth0-on-capsule>'

Observation:
satellite-installer includes following trusted_proxies in settings file after execution, which unblocks traffic through capsule for satellite provisioning.
