openshift-java-client: incompatibility with OpenShift Enterprise and Origin when using the remote-user authentication plugin ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-15830 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-15830 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Bug Components: openshift Affects Versions: 4.1.1.Beta1 Reporter: Brenton Leanhardt Assignee: Andre Dietisheim Labels: openshift-java-client Fix For: 4.1.1.CR1, 4.2.0.Alpha1 OpenShift Enterprise and Origin both ship an authentication plugin that allows parts of authentication to be handled by Apache and other parts to be delegated to the openshift-origin-controller codebase. I've found that all versions of openshift-java-client after 2.3.0.Final change a (poorly documented) requirement for the OpenShift remote-user plugin. In order for a request to bypass the Apache authentication and passthrough to the OpenShift Broker the user-agent header is inspected. If the user-agent is 'OpenShift' then the Broker will require an encrypted authentication token. Today this is used by the jenkins cartridge but I believe it's also still used for scaling. You can see this for details: https://github.com/openshift/origin-server/blob/master/documentation/arch... In 2.3.0.Final of the openshift-java-client the user-agent was 'OpenShift' however all versions after this set the user-agent to the java version (eg, User-Agent: Java/1.7.0_45).
