novncproxy doesn't seem to proxy when configured in ha

[james beedy]

Openstack release: kilo
Ubuntu series: trusty

I can't seem to get a novnc console through hacluster. Also, there is no configuration for port 6080 in haproxy.cfg.
Not sure if I have something wrong, or if I have been going about it wrong all along, but I have never been able to get novnc console to work when nova-cloud-controller is deployed in ha/used in conjunction with hacluster.

haproxy.cfg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14406962/

I hit something like this aswell. Which revision of nova-cloud-controller are you deploying and with what config?

Refreshing the page does the solved the problem for me but I am not sure what the real issue is.

this is a token issue, using memcached charm helped me out. https://bugs.launchpad.net/charms/+source/nova-cloud-controller/+bug/1550422

novnc proxy connections are not load balanced in the same way as API requests; they always go via the VIP so are routed through a single unit.

Junaid's suggestion to use memcached in conjuction with nova-cloud-controller for token caching is valid as the backend token auth for the console still runs active/active/active on all units.

On the assumption that this was related to the lack of use of memcached (which has the symptom of sometimes working and sometimes not) I'm going to mark this bug as 'Invalid'.
