VSO Proxy Support
hinrichd opened this issue · comments
Describe the bug
When using vso on an onpremise cluster behind a proxy, vso do not use the proxy varibales from extraEnv to lookup and connect to Hashicorp Vault Secrets. Connection Test fails due to lookup on KubenDNS and not using proxy.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Deploy VSO with extraEnv in helm values:
helm install vault-secrets-operator hashicorp/vault-secrets-operator -f values.yaml
controller:
manager:
extraEnv:
- name: http_proxy
value: "http://PROXYURL:PORT"
- name: https_proxy
value: "http://PROXYURL:PORT"
- name: no_proxy
value: "127.0.0.1,localhost,.local,.svc,.svc.cluster.local"
- Check VSO Pod Describition if proxy env is correctly applied:
Environment:
OPERATOR_POD_NAME: vault-secrets-operator-controller-manager-58c4dc5674-dbp75 (v1:metadata.name)
OPERATOR_POD_UID: (v1:metadata.uid)
KUBERNETES_CLUSTER_DOMAIN: cluster.local
http_proxy: http://PROXYURL:PORT
https_proxy: http://PROXYURL:PORT
no_proxy: 127.0.0.1,localhost,.local,.svc,.svc.cluster.local
- Apply Secret with SP, HCPAuth and HCPVaultSecretsApp for Test-Projekt.
- Check VSO Pod Logs
"error": "connection check failed, err=dial tcp: lookup api.cloud.hashicorp.com on 10.200.X.X53: server misbehaving"
Lookup using internal kubedns and not using proxy, so it will fail.

- Deployed CURL Pod in same namespace with proxy env and and manually curled secrets from Vault Secrets to verify connection is working on cluster behind a proxy (working). Curl using lowercase http_proxy env, so also tested helm extraEnv with lower case proxy variable.
Environment
- Kubernetes version: 1.26.5
- Distribution or cloud vendor VMware Tanzu
- vault-secrets-operator version: hashicorp/vault-secrets-operator:0.5.1
Thank You for your help.
Hi @hinrichd,
Thank you for the detailed report. I see two issues here.
- The connection check on the HCPAuth resource is failing. This check is used for information purposes only, and should not affect your HCPVaultSecretsApp being synced to K8s.
- From the HCPVaultSecretsApp logs, it seems that VSO is getting a 403 (permission denied error) when trying to fetch the Vault Secrets app. That seems like it may be related to the HCP client credentials configured on HCPAuth resource. Can you confirm that the credentials that VSO is using have the right permissions to access the HCP Vault Secrets app in question? The 403 error could also be coming from your HTTPS proxy, can you confirm that proxy URL has the correct credentials if authentication is being enforced on the proxy side?
I took a closer look at the code and did some internal testing, and it seems setting HTTPS_PROXY (lower or upper case) is being honoured. So more than likely the issue is related to the permission settings on the HCP Vault Secrets side not matching what you have in your service principal credentials. You will want to verify those credentials match the OrganizationID/ProjectID configured on your HCPAuth.
Also, just be aware that the approach you are taking by setting the proxy globally for VSO, may cause some unexpected behaviour. Ideally, VSO would support granular proxy configuration on the HCPAuth or VaultConnection custom resources. We will probably add support for that use case in a future VSO release.
