setting properties in 16.01

[#1]

i am trying to set UI properties for edge-ui as found by

grep -ri "proxy" /opt/apigee/edge-ui/source/

# WS configuration
# ~~~~~
# If you need to set proxy params for WS requests
# http.proxyHost = localhost
# http.proxyPort = 3128
# http.proxyUser = jojo
# http.proxyPassword = jojo

When i set these in /opt/apigee/customer/application/edge-ui.conf they do not seem to get picked up. Is that by design?

[#2 · Accepted solution]

You can follow the below steps to achieve this:

1. Create /opt/apigee/customer/application/ui.properties

2. Put these values in /opt/apigee/customer/application/ui.properties

conf/application.conf+http.proxyHost=localhost

conf/application.conf+http.proxyPort=3128 

conf/application.conf+http.proxyUser=jojo 

conf/application.conf+http.proxyPassword=jojo

3. Restart the edge-ui (apigee-service edge-ui restart)

Thanks,

So - this is great and all - but how the heck are we supposed to know this based on what was in the guides?

I apologies for not getting it documented properly. We'll update the documents to reflect the same. @sgilson please update the docs.

@archendra i for one am rather put off by this new system of managing configuration entries - especially considering the effort we had to put in to manage these manually w/ puppet.

being told "you are on your own on this one" and then suddenly having it all renovated behind the scenes to use a non standard and quite difficult to follow set of custom constraints just feels like a bad idea.
