Proxies for Chef
Proxies for Chef are configurable in Connect and update Cloud infrastructure forms. If proxies are used
in your environment, you will need to ensure you have the following patches for your Chef server
(v11.4-6 provided in Chef folder).
For Linux
bootstrap_context.rb (replaces file in <ruby-path-to-chef-gems>/lib/chef/knife/core)
bootstrap.rb (replaces file in <ruby-path-to-chef-gems>/lib/chef/knife)
chef-full.erb (replaces file in <ruby-path-to-chef-gems>/lib/chef/knife/bootstrap)
For Windows
bootstrap_windows_base.rb
(replaces file in <ruby-path>/gems/knife-windows-0.5.13/lib/chef/knife/)
windows_bootstrap_context.rb
(replaces file <ruby-path>/gems/knife-windows-0.5.13/lib/chef/knife/core)
windows-chef-client-msi.erb
(replaces file in <ruby-path>/gems/knife-windows-0.5.13/lib/chef/knife/bootstrap)
In your
knife.rb file, include your proxy information as in the example below
bootstrap_proxy = ‘http://64.102.255.40:8080’
bootstrap_no_proxy = ‘192.168.1.*, internal.chef.server’
