CSE with Multisite

marko_uskokovic — Mon, 08 Aug 2022 10:28:06 GMT

I have tried CSE.next on multisite setup, where I have two VCD sites paired on system and organization level.

So, sites are rs-bg-1-ec and rs-bg-2-ec and I can see VDCs and VMs from both sites in VCD.

Also, in CSE UI plugin on rs-bg-2-ec site I can see k8s clusters from both sites:

If I click on cse4-rs-bg-1-test-1 link, it will open rs-bg-1-ec site in new browser tab, but it will not accept my current SSO login and I will need to login again to manage my cluster. Annoyance, but bearable.

The real problem is, if I login to rs-bg-2-ec site, and go to another site by SSO, and then open CSE UI plugin, it will not be able to show any clusters, it will display message "Error: Failed to fetch Kubernetes clusters"

There is 401 Unauthorized HTTP request to rs-bg-1-ec site's /api/session url and there is a "CSE UI: Error fetching sites" message in browser console.

Note: Similar problems were noticed in CSE 3.1 when using multisite setup.

Hi @marko_uskokovic,

Thank you for your feedback. We are looking into this.

When SSO login fails after clicking the cse4-rs-bg-1-test-1 link on the rs-bg-2-ec, do you see any specific error?

Would you please also elaborate on when you log into the rs-bg-2-ec site and go to another site by SSO, what specific steps do you do to get to the other site?

Thank you,

Timothy

I don't see any specific error, because it opens in new tab without inspect element so I can't track http requests. Will report if I find some error.

When I login to rs-bg-2-ec site and want to go to another site by SSO I just click on site name in "Data Centers" -> "Virtual Data Center" like in picture attached

Hi @marko_uskokovic

Sorry for the delay; my message did not go through.

Would you please log into each site and go to the container plugin on each site? Does each site show clusters successfully?

Thank you

Yes, it does, but only If I login to each site separately.

If I login to rs-bg-2 and switch to rs-bg-1 site from the "Data centers" page of tenant portal, then I get "Error: Failed to fetch Kubernetes clusters" because of "401 Unauthorized" request to /api/session and the rezulting "CSE UI: Error fetching sites".

Since this is evident even on CSE 3, should I open SR and debug it there and give VMware with screen sharing session so someone can better describe problem and collect what is going on?
