Affected Product(s):
BIG-IQ ADC
Known Affected Versions:
8.0.0, 8.0.0.1
Opened: Jun 30, 2021 Severity: 3-Major
Deploying LetsEncrypt challenge contents towards the API endpoint for a domain by clicking 'Deploy & Test' results in the task being stuck. It times out after 5 minutes. Log similar to the following appears on restjavad log file 5 minutes after the task started: [ AsyncContextWrapper] [AsyncContext] 6313a650 timed-out, closing connection. Time taken 300755 ms
BIG-IQ expects a JSON-formatted body in a successful response when posting the challenge content towards the API endpoint. The current version does not gracefully handle HTTP 200 responses that does not have a JSON-formatted body. Deploy & Test task gets stuck and times out after 5 minutes. BIG-IQ does not proceed to request ACME server for domain validation even if the challenge content has been successfully uploaded to the API endpoint.
API endpoint does not respond with JSON formatted body for a successful POST operation of the LetsEncrypt challenge.
Ensure that the API endpoint sends back 'Content-Type: application/json' in the HTTP header and a JSON-formatted body (eg. {}) in a successful response to a POST request when deploying the challenge content.
None
