BitBucket Git connection through F5 via HTTP(S)

[robert_t_simmons1]

We have BitBucket configured to work with an F5 and it works well when browsing to the website. We are trying to use Git for development, connecting over http(s). When attempting to use Git we get an error fatal: unable to update url base from redirection:

"asked for https://joseph.frank@servername.mil/bb/scm/~joseph.frank/test1.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack

redirect: https://joseph.frank@servername.mil/my.logout.php3?errorcode=19"

I haven't found much information on this error, either from here or the F5 site. Does anyone have an idea why I'm getting this error?

Thanks,

Joe Frank

We are seeing the exact same issue.  What is odd is that it works when using IIS or Netscaler to proxy BB.  Has anyone got F5 client certificate to work with http Git clients?

Hello Robert

Assuming that you are using a Bitbucket version 5 onwards and you are terminating the SSL in the load balancer, you will need to add server.proxy-port and server.proxy-name parameters in bitbucket.properties file.

The correct baseURL also needs to be set in Bitbucket. Instructions on how to set the baseURL can be find on this KB.

Also, you may want to take a look at the atlassian-bitbucket.log in order to check if what is shown when the error occurs.

More information can be found in the links below:

• Securing Bitbucket Server with Tomcat using SSL
• Migrate server.xml customizations to bitbucket.properties

You also may want to check the configuration from the F5 side.
