Affected Product(s):
Application Connector All
Fixed In:
1.1.0
Opened: May 16, 2017 Severity: 3-Major
If the proxyName environment variable set on the "docker run" command on the Application Connector Proxy contains a period ("."), the Application Connector Service Center generates an error message when a connection from the Proxy is established to the Service Center. Also if the proxyName contains any characters besides . _ - a-z A-Z or 0-9 it will not properly connect to the service center.
The F5 Application Connector Service Center will reject the connection from the Proxy.
This occurs when starting a proxy using the -e proxyName=<a-string-with-a-period> parameter.
Avoid using a period in the proxyName environment variable.
F5 Application Connector Service Center now supports "." in the proxyName field provided it is not the first character in the string. The following regular expression is utilized to determine valid proxyName: /^[a-zA-Z0-9-_][a-zA-Z0-9-._]*$/
