How to Configure Outbound HTTP and HTTPS Proxy for your Atlassian application

目的

This page defines how to configure Atlassian applications such that they can communicate externally through an outbound proxy. This configuration is required to access servers outside the network it's hosted in, such as the Atlassian Marketplace.

ソリューション

Basic Configuration

HTTP(S) Outbound Proxy support is configured in Atlassian applications by passing certain system properties to the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) on startup. These parameters are then used by the Atlassian application in order to send outbound requests via the proxy.

These basic properties follow the conventions defined by Oracle:

• http.proxyHost
• http.proxyPort (既定: 80)
• http.nonProxyHosts (既定: <none>)
• https.proxyHost
• https.proxyPort

The http.proxyHost property must be defined to configure an HTTP proxy, and https.proxyHost for a HTTPS proxy. 

http.proxyHost および http.proxyPort プロパティは、HTTP プロトコル ハンドラが使用するプロキシ サーバーとポートを示します。例:

-Dhttp.proxyHost=proxy.example.org -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080 -Dhttps.proxyHost=proxy.example.org -Dhttps.proxyPort=8080 -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=localhost

The property http.nonProxyHosts indicates the hosts which should be connected to directly and not through the proxy server.

The value can be a list of hosts, each separated by a |, and in addition a wildcard character (*) can be used for matching. For example:

-Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=*.foo.com|localhost|confluence|crowd

System property configuration is described in further detail within our Setting Properties and Options on Startup documentation.

認証の設定

If your proxy requires authentication, you should configure it by passing the below properties to your JVM, as in our Setting Properties and Options on Startup documentation.

• http.proxyUser
• http.proxyPassword
• https.proxyUser
• https.proxyPassword

例:

-Dhttp.proxyUser=atlaspirate -Dhttp.proxyPassword=yarrrrr -Dhttps.proxyUser=atlaspirate -Dhttps.proxyPassword=yarrrrr

Special consideration for Crowd:

For example, if you are using Bamboo with outbound proxy and you want to use Crowd as user repository then you have to take care of the below changes so that Bamboo can communicate with Crowd.

Edit the file: <bamboo-home-directory>/xml-data/configuration/crowd.properties and add the below configurations.

http.proxy.port=<http-proxy-port>
https.proxy.port=<https-proxy-port>
http.proxy.host=<http-proxy-host>
https.proxy.host=<https-proxy-host>

Note: You need to restart your Bamboo application after making these changes.

Application Links Implications

If the http.nonProxyHosts property is not configured, all web requests will be routed through the proxy. This could break Application Links. For example, if connecting Confluence and JIRA applications together with Application Links, we would recommend bypassing the proxy and communicating on the internal network with this property. Routing through the proxy can have ramifications when taking into account IP validation on those links - the source IP of the server can be different depending on how the traffic is routed.

例:

-Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=localhost|jira.mycompany.com

または

-Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=localhost|*.mycompany.com

Similarly, you want to configure JIRA the other way around: 

例:

-Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=localhost|confluence.mycompany.com

または

-Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=localhost|*.mycompany.com

Microsoft ISA NTLM 認証

NTLM is not supported by Atlassian applications. Please refer to public issues below, for example:

• UPM-1104 - Getting issue details... STATUS
• STASH-7694 - Getting issue details... STATUS
• JRA-2398 - 課題詳細を取得中... ステータス

回避策

In past issues, customers reported success by using a software called Ctnlm. You can refer to the comments on our pages JRA-2398 - Support NTLM authentication and Problems Connecting to the Atlassian Marketplace.

The steps are summarised below:

• Install Cntlm Authentication Proxy locally your server where the Atlassian application is running

• Configure and test it to make sure "Cntlm" works with your corporate NTLM and then use the parameters below

  Update your user, domain, and proxy information in cntlm.ini, then test your proxy with this command (run in your Cntlm installation folder):

        cntlm -c cntlm.ini -I -M http://google.ro
  
      

  It will ask for your password, and hopefully print your required authentication information, which must be saved in your cntlm.ini

  Sample cntlm.ini:

        Username            user
  Domain              domain
  
  # provide actual value if autodetection fails
  # Workstation         pc-name
  
  Proxy               my_proxy_server.com:80
  NoProxy             127.0.0.*, 192.168.*
  
  Listen              127.0.0.1:54321
  Listen              192.168.1.42:8080
  Gateway             no
  
  SOCKS5Proxy         5000
  # provide socks auth info if you want it
  # SOCKS5User          socks-user:socks-password
  
  # printed authentication info from the previous step
  Auth            NTLMv2
  PassNTLMv2      98D6986BCFA9886E41698C1686B58A09
  
      

  Note: on linux the config file is cntlm.conf

  
  

  
  

• Have the configuration described on the HTTP proxy parameters point to the "Cntlm" proxy instead of the NTLM so "Cntlm" will do the job to talk to NTLM.
