  • 1.  Webseal junction on Kubernetes openshift

    Posted yesterday

    Hello,
    I have set up a junction to my openshift platform.
    I have a strange behaviour, the junction results down but if I call the junction the application behind work fine and at that moment the junction is up, only to come back down after some time.

    before invoking the junction 

    After invoking the junction 

    what do i need to configure to have the junction always up and running?

    Fabio,

     

    Are you able to provide some further clarification on what you mean when you say the junction is up or down.  You have shown screenshots of the UI, but in a containerised environment the configuration container does not directly communicate with the junction and so it won't show the status of the junction. 

     

    Are you saying that in the WRP container you are seeing log messages stating that the junction is cycling between available and unavailable?

     

    Thanks.

    Hi Scott,

    Thank you for your answer,
    I have an application exposed by RH Openshift via a route like http://myapp.myopenshit.com/myapp.

    I created a trasparent junction like this:
    Server task mywebseal create -t tcp -h myapp.myopenshit.com -p 80 -v myapp.myopenshit.com -x /myapp

    If I try to see the status of this new junction via the command:
    Server task mywebseal show /myapp
    I can see that the resource is online but the server status is not running as you can see from the following image.

    If I then call my junction from my portal (https://my.websealdomain.it/myapp) it works fine and the server status goes from 'not running' to 'running' and then returns to a 'not running' status after some time.

    If I may add one more piece of information if I try to connect to the same endpoint configured on the junction it responds correctly.

    What do i have to configure on  webseal side or on RH Openshift side to make the junction always running?

    where is my error?

    Regards,

    Fabio

    It sounds like the junction is always running OK, but the status is not being reported correctly.  I assume that you are running the server task to show the junction status on the WebSEAL instance itself?  Have you checked the container console for any error messages?
