Using HTTPS with a Proxy Securely

When using HTTPS with a proxy, the connection between the iDRAC and the proxy is not as secure as the connection between the iDRAC and the HTTPS server. The connection between the iDRAC and the HTTPS server is encrypted, and credentials that are used to log in to the server (if any) are carried over the encrypted connection. The connection between the iDRAC and the proxy is not encrypted. The credentials used to log in to the proxy (if any) are transferred before the encrypted connection is started. Because of this the credentials that are used to log in to the proxy should not be the same credentials that are used to log in to the server. That way if the proxy credentials are compromised it means the HTTPS server credentials are also not compromised.

The following attributes are also used in interfaces other than the LC-UI. Attributes are available to allow values to be set when an interface is not able to set them itself. One set of these is for proxy settings.

LifeCycleController.LCAttributes.UserProxyPassword

LifeCycleController.LCAttributes.UserProxyPort

LifeCycleController.LCAttributes.UserProxyServer

LifeCycleController.LCAttributes.UserProxyType

LifeCycleController.LCAttributes.UserProxyUserName

These attributes are used with both HTTP and HTTPS.

The UserProxyServer is an important attribute. If it is not set, then the other attributes cannot be used, and the behavior is as if none of them are set.

The LifeCycleController.LCAttributes.IgnoreCertWarning attribute is used only with HTTPS. If set to "On" then certificate warnings are ignored. This is another way of saying HTTPS server certificate validation is not going to be done. It recommended from a security perspective to set this configuration to “Off” so that certificate validation is performed as part of the HTTPS communication.

Security recommendations if a proxy is required:

  1. Set IgnoreCertWarning to “Off”
  2. If proxy credentials are used, they should be different than the remote HTTPS server
  3. HTTP Proxy or socks4
