Configuring Orient Me to support a reverse-proxy server
Configure the Orient Me service to support the reverse-proxy server used by the Customizer offering of the Component Pack for HCL Connections™.
Do you need to complete this task?
You only need to update the connections-env release with the new Customizer reverse-proxy server if you did not specify it as the value for the ic.host
setting when you initially installed your connections-env.
To determine whether you need to complete this task, run the following commands:
kubectl get configmap connections-env -o yaml -n connections | grep ic-homepage-url
kubectl get configmap connections-env -o yaml -n connections | grep ic-host
kubectl get configmap connections-env -o yaml -n connections | grep orient-cnx-host
If all of the results point to either the Customizer reverse-proxy server or a load balancer that sits in front it, you can skip this task. Otherwise, complete the following procedure.
If you deployed a reverse-proxy server for Customizer and you have already deployed Orient Me, then you must configure Orient Me to work with the new reverse-proxy server. Update Orient Me configuration settings to allow users to access the home page using the reverse proxy server; otherwise tiles will not load successfully and the action center will not function.
-
In the upgrade command, be sure to use the Customizer reverse-proxy server (or a load balancer that sits in front of it) for the
ic.host
setting, and use the IBM HTTP Server address that sits in front of Connections for theic.internal
setting. -
Restart the pods that use the updated configmap values by running the following commands:
kubectl -n connections delete pods -l app=appregistry-client kubectl -n connections delete pods -l app=appregistry-service kubectl -n connections delete pods -l app=community-suggestions kubectl -n connections delete pods -l app=itm-services kubectl -n connections delete pods -l app=middleware-graphql kubectl -n connections delete pods -l app=orient-web-client kubectl -n connections delete pods -l app=people-migrate
-
Check that all of the pods are running:
kubectl -n connections get pods -o wide
-
Verify that you can access Orient Me and that the tiles and action center display correctly.
