[US246]: Proxy support

[devx]

Deploying behind a proxy environment does not work. I was able to install chef-server but failed to download cookbooks. Here are the two issues:

1. Chef server install fails even if the shell environments are set
   Fix for this is to add the following line to the file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00aptitude
   Aptitude::Get-Root-Command "sudo:/usr/bin/sudo";
   Acquire::http::proxy "http://:3128/";
   Acquire::https::proxy "https://:3128/";
   Alternatively is to have the install scripts load the proxy configuration
2. Failure to download cookbooks
   This is happening because of knife does not have the proxy parameters configured.

What OS is this? Can you attach your current sudoers and sshd config?
I suspect that #1 is caused by keep_env in sudoers not keeping http/https/no_proxy ENV variables.

#2 as you've pointed out, is probably from missing settings in knife.rb.
Can you confirm/attach your client.rb, which should have the proxy related settings already set.

Sorry for the delay I thought I had included that information initially.

System Profile:
OS Release information
ubuntu - 12.04

kernal information
Linux chef 3.5.0-23-generic #35~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 25 17:13:26 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Hostname including FQDN
chef.lab.example.com

#1 Here is the part that sets the keep_env as you mention
Defaults env_keep="http_proxy"
Defaults env_reset

#2 client.rb
unfortunately because it rolls back i'm not able to keep the client.rb

This should be fixed with the following commits:

rcbops/opencenter-install-scripts@000a15d
rcbops/opencenter-agent@0604dec
rcbops/opencenter-agent@e2647de

The installation docs are also being updated to including information about installation behind a proxy.
