Hi @yamashin55, can you provide the following:

It looks like you have a password set in the proxy db variables, but no username. Is that correct or is it redacted?

Also, how did you deploy CFE? Did you use the ARM templates? Thanks

@mikeshimkus, Thank you for replay.

It looks like you have a password set in the proxy db variables, but no username. Is that correct or is it redacted?

This proxy server has no authentication. I have not set a proxy ID and password on my BIG-IP. I have not been changed from the default.

I used fllowing command: tmsh modify sys db proxy.host value 54.85.XX.XX tmsh modify sys db proxy.port value 3128 tmsh save sys config

Also, how did you deploy CFE? Did you use the ARM templates?

No. I didn't use ARM templates. I deployed the BIG-IP manually. CFE Configuration is :

{
    "class": "Cloud_Failover",
    "environment": "azure",
    "controls": {
      "class": "Controls",
      "logLevel": "silly"
    },
    "retryFailover": {
        "enabled": true,
        "interval": 2
     },
    "externalStorage":{
        "scopingTags": {
            "f5_cloud_failover_label": "BIGIP_FAILOVER_ADDRESS2"
        }
    },
    "failoverAddresses": {
        "scopingTags": {
            "f5_cloud_failover_label": "BIGIP_FAILOVER_STORAGE"
        }
    }
}

I thought that CONNECT Method is normally used for HTTPS communication in case of Explicit Proxy.

CONNECT abc.com

However, when accessing from CFE, it appears that the GET method is being used. GET https://management.azure.com/... GET https://f5cfe12345.blob.core.windows.net/?comp....

"2024/05/02 20:01:50.724" 20.243.120.254 1825 4.150.240.10 2474 443 application/json "GET https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/providers/Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts?api-version=2023-01-01 HTTP/1.1" 200 "-" "axios/0.21.4" "TCP_REFRESH_MODIFIED:HIER_DIRECT"
"2024/05/02 20:01:51.537" 20.243.120.254 1687 20.150.85.196 5535 443 text/html "GET https://f5cfe12345.blob.core.windows.net/?comp=list HTTP/1.1" 502 "-" "axios/0.21.4" "TCP_MISS:HIER_DIRECT"

However, the access log of Azure Resource Manager(management.azure.com) shows a normal 200 response. The Storage Account (f5cfe12345.blob.core.windows.net) access log is a 502 response.

@yamashin55 I created internal issue EC-510 for this.

Can you also share the JSON config of the storage account (click on the account overview in the Azure portal and then the JSON View link). Do you have any ACLs or NSG rules applied to the storage account that would deny traffic from the proxy IP/vNET but allow it from the BIG-IP instance IPs?

Regarding the method, the curl command is using the proxy db settings directly, while CFE passes them to the Axios client as proxy options. Regardless of that difference, this was successfully tested with identical db var and squid configuration, so I suspect something blocking access from the proxy server specifically.

yamashin55 commented 2 months ago

@mikeshimkus,
Thank you for comment about the difference of method.

Do you have any ACLs or NSG rules applied to the storage account that would deny traffic from the proxy IP/vNET but allow it from the BIG-IP instance IPs?

I changed the "Public network access" setting to "Enabled from selected virtual networks and IP addresses".

And at Firewall rules section, I added the global address of squid proxy server. Other than that, no specific ACLs have been changed.

mikeshimkus commented 2 months ago

Thanks. It might be helpful to configure the storage account like the ARM templates do just for testing, for example: https://github.com/F5Networks/f5-azure-arm-templates-v2/blob/9efd07d357ef01e35e5db0a95a7ac6debca15a57/examples/modules/bigip-standalone/bigip.json#L424

I have placed this issue in the queue and will update here with the outcome.

yamashin55 commented 2 months ago

I tested using StorageAccount of ARM standalone BigIP Template with the same result. This 502 error symptom did not improve.

I found a similar problem was raised with axios. issues-5078 I have no programming knowledge and don't know...

mikeshimkus commented 1 month ago

@yamashin55 We just released https://github.com/F5Networks/f5-cloud-failover-extension/releases/tag/v2.1.1 with a fix for this issue.

yamashin55 commented 1 month ago

@mikeshimkus It's working fine with the new version(v2.1.1)! Thank you for your help! I couldn't find the rpm package file, so I replaced the following two files with v2.1.1 and checked the reproducibility in my lab env. It works fine.

src/nodejs/providers/azure/cloud.js src/nodejs/util.js

Could you upload the rpm file when you have time. I think I have solved the problem.
