Manage Proxies on Runtime Fabric on Self-Managed Kubernetes

The procedures in this topic should be performed by a MuleSoft organization administrator.

Runtime Fabric on Self-Managed Kubernetes uses two types of proxies when running and hosting applications:

  • System proxies: include proxies that enable connectivity among Kubernetes cluster services, including the Docker daemon and other internal components. When using Runtime Fabric on Self-Managed Kubernetes you are responsible for configuring and managing system proxies.

  • Application proxies: include proxies that enable connectivity to applications running on Runtime Fabric.

Apply Proxy Values to Runtime Fabric on Self-Managed Kubernetes

Configure a proxy at the runtime level for all the outbound components running in the runtime to use.

If you run the rtfctl apply http-proxy command from a workstation that is outside the cluster, you may get a warning similar to:

Proxy configurations in the environment "HTTP_PROXY: " does not match configurations in Runtime Fabric…​

This error occurs if the proxy values on the workstation do not match the values in the Runtime Fabric cluster (including capitalization mismatches on the proxy variable name). You can ignore this error.

  1. Run the following command, replacing the placeholder values with the following:

    rtfctl apply http-proxy "http://<user>:<pass>@<10.0.0.1>:<8080>" --no-proxy "<1.1.1.1:8888,2.2.2.2:9999>"

    • <user>: the username needed to authenticate to the HTTP proxy.

    • <pass>: the password needed to authenticate to the HTTP proxy.

      The password must be URL encoded.

    • <10.0.0.1>: Specifies the IP address or hostname to access the HTTP proxy.

    • <8080>: Specifies the port on the host where the HTTP proxy is listening for requests.

    • <1.1.1.1:8888,2.2.2.2:9999>: Specifies the RTF_NO_PROXY hosts and ports, delimited by commas.

    • (Optional) --confirm: Skips manual acknowledgement of the change. If not specified, the rtfctl apply proxy command prompts you to confirm the change before continuing.

  2. To verify the change was successful, run the following command to output the current value of the HTTP proxy:

    rtfctl get http-proxy

    The output should match the value expected.

  3. To remove the remove the proxy values, run:

    sudo /opt/anypoint/runtimefabric/rtfctl apply http-proxy '' --no-proxy ''

Configure a Proxy for the API Manager Agent

To configure a proxy for the API Manager Agent, add the following properties to the :

anypoint.platform.proxy_host=hostname
anypoint.platform.proxy_port=port
anypoint.platform.proxy_username=username
anypoint.platform.proxy_password=password

Configure a Proxy for an Application

Applications deployed in Runtime Fabric do not inherit proxy settings from the Runtime Fabric cluster. You must configure a proxy for each application.

You can set up a proxy on each connector (such as an HTTP requestor) or set up a proxy with application properties as shown in the following example. Setting up a proxy with application properties is less work if you have a large number of connectors in an application.

http.nonProxyHosts=localhost|*.svc.cluster.local|*.monitoring.svc.cluster.local
http.proxyHost=172.19.0.23
http.proxyPort=3128
https.proxyHost=172.19.0.23
https.proxyPort=3128

java.net.useSystemProxies=false
com.ning.http.client.AsyncHttpClientConfig.useProxySelector=false
com.ning.http.client.AsyncHttpClientConfig.useProxyProperties=true
