Multiuser-OpenShift on OpenShift behind Proxy not starting Workspaces

Bug

In OpenShift, behind a Proxy Eclipse Che cannot start a workspace. In the Che-Window I can see:

and then, after some time:

Error: Failed to run the workspace: "Server 'theia' in container 'theia-ide7du' not available."

Additionaly I tried to add java-proxy options to the docker-container by setting the java opts in the environment via openshift: -Dhttp.proxyHost=a.b.c.d -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080 -Dhttps.proxyHost=a.b.c.d -Dhttps.proxyPort=8080 -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts='localhost|127.0.0.1|*.my-company.de|vm-openshift-02|*.vm-openshift-02|*.vm-openshift-02.my-company.de|172.30.*|10.*'

I can see in the log of the che-pod that the options are used, but it didn’t help.

Che version

7.0.0-rc-5.0-SNAPSHOT

Steps to reproduce

1. be behind a proxy 😉
2. Install OpenShift (in my case v3.9.0, but I think that is not the problem…)
3. Set the environment for the installation

export CHE_WORKSPACE_HTTP__PROXY=http://x.x.x.x:8080/
export CHE_WORKSPACE_HTTPS__PROXY=http://x.x.x.x:8080/
export CHE_WORKSPACE_NO__PROXY=.my-company.de,vm-openshift-02.my-company.de,127.0.0.1,x.y.z.a,localhost,vm-openshift-02,.vm-openshift-02.my-company.de

1. install eclipse che with ./deploy_che.sh --multiuser --project=eclipse-che-mu …
2. create a new (java) project

Expected behavior

a workspace is running 😉

Installation method

deploy_che.sh

Environment

CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core) and a Proxy

There are so many docker container. From which one do you need the log? I looked thrue the logs and I cann not see anything special.

So I think, that the communication between the workspace and the core do not work, because the sender thinks he has to use the proxy … (but it is only a guess…)

@mshaposhnik Ok, I tested ist and the workspace comes up! So the Error, with the JWTProxy is fixed. Thank You.
