"oc login" unable to reach master API service when fronted by a HAProxy load-balancer

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • Openshift master nodes are fronted by a standalone HAProxy load-balancer (running outside of the Openshift cluster).

  • The following parameters in the Openshift master node configuration file (/etc/origin/master/master-config.yaml) are configured to point to load-balancer URLs:

    masterPublicURL: https://<publicfacing_load-balancer_hostname>:8443
masterURL: https://<privatefacing_load-balancer_hostname>:8443

  • When trying to login to Openshift cluster, user receives the following error:

    # oc login -u system:admin
error: EOF

Environment

  • Openshift Container Platform 3.x
