  • 1.  Change Manage Route URL in MAS

    Posted Tue July 11, 2023 03:46 PM

    As you might have understood by my posts in the previous weeks, i am on a journey to learn how to install and configure MAS Manage and thanks to you (and lots of hours of tests and errors) I am slowly starting to get the full picture

    My next task : the route URL

    Right now the OpenShift route for my nice Manage instance is : masdev.manage.inst1.apps.cluster.domain.com

    Is there a way to change it before installation with masdevops (as a parameter) or after installation by changing the route in OpenShift?

    Naively I took a copy of the route and then changed the host for manage.apps.cluster.domain.com, with bad results. I guess the certificate assigned to the route would have been a problem anyway

    Any real life experience out there? Or am I looking at the issue the wrong way and we should address the fact we want to shorten the URL by looking at URL rewriting and stuff like that?

    The most common solution here would be to use reverse proxy in front of the actual OpenShift cluser (or SNO). Sharptree has a step by step tutorial on how to get that done with MAS https://www.sharptree.io/blog/2023/2023-01-24-mas-reverse-proxy/

    Hi Francois,

    I think maybe this technote is what you want.

    https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6966684

    By changing de domain name, its changes automatically all the routes.

    Regards

    The link posted above (https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6966684) works great for core components, including routes. For me, the manage application  (routes, configurations ) still point to the old domain name. Is there a way to update the manage application as well without deactivate / activate?

    Hi Martin:

    Besides the reverse proxy solution, in theory, if you change the MAS Core "Suite" CR, it should automatically propagate to all applications, including Manage.

    In the technote there are lists of Pods that may be needed to be deleted/restarted for the change to propagate correctly, including the "entitymgr-ws" Pod on the Manage namespace and several on the MAS Core namespace. 

    According to the technote, the only exception may be Monitor.

    Also, it is recommended to ensure there is a Cert Manager Issuer or Cluster Issuer for the new domain as well as the required DNS records.

    Thanks

    Julio.
