proxy-server/username

A map of ssh public keys to install for the root user

This Param allows setting the Proxy Server authentication username to use.

The Param proxy-servers can be written in a format with a direct URL that includes the username (and password). However, this does not allow the password to be protected by an encrypted Secure Param or stored in a Vault service.

To support secure storage and Vault storage of the Password, the operator must use this Param and the accompanying separate proxy-server/* Params. The following Params are used for independent control of the Proxy Server definition:

  • proxy-server/method = [required] one of http or https
  • proxy-server/host = [required] examples 10.10.10.10 or proxy.example.com
  • proxy-server/username = [optional] example proxy-user
  • proxy-server/password = [optional] stored as a Secure Param
  • proxy-server/port = [optional] example 3128

The individual proxy-server/* Param based use will be enabled if the proxy-server/method has any value set. Subsequently the proxy-servers Param if set; will be ignored. If the method is not set to any value, then the proxy-servers Param will be used directly.

At a minimum, the proxy-server/method and proxy-server/host MUST be set, to create a minimum working Proxy Server definition.

If a username or password is needed, both Params must be set.
