Error "Reserved/Local IP based URL not allowed" when adding an endpoint to Aria Automation Pipelines through a proxy

Products

• VMware Aria Suite

Issue/Introduction

When trying to add an endpoint to Pipelines through a proxy, an error will occur if the proxy uses a "Reserved/Local" IP address.

Example "Reserved/Local" IP ranges:

localhost/8
0.0.0.0/8
127.0.0.0/8
10.0.0.0/8
...

Environment

Aria Automation 8.x

Cause

These IP ranges are blocked by the CodeStream service to prevent any malicious user from pinging localhost or other Internal IP addresses and enumerating the open ports.

Resolution

Use a direct connection to the endpoint rather than using a proxy with an IP address in one of the above listed ranges.
