Chapter 7. Installing and configuring the load balancer


Red Hat provides general guidance for configuring an HAProxy load balancer using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. However, you can install any suitable load balancing software solution that supports TCP forwarding.

7.1. Installing the load balancer

The following example provides general guidance for configuring an HAProxy load balancer using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. However, you can install any suitable load balancing software solution that supports TCP forwarding.

Procedure

  1. Install HAProxy:

    # dnf install haproxy
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  2. Install the following package that includes the semanage tool:

    # dnf install policycoreutils-python-utils
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  3. Configure SELinux to allow HAProxy to bind any port:

    # semanage boolean --modify --on haproxy_connect_any
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  4. Configure the load balancer to balance the network load for the ports as described in Section 7.2, “Ports configuration for the load balancer”.
  5. Configure the load balancer to disable SSL offloading and allow client-side SSL certificates to pass through to back end servers. This is required because communication from clients to Capsule Servers depends on client-side SSL certificates.
  6. Start and enable the HAProxy service:

    # systemctl enable --now haproxy
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

7.2. Ports configuration for the load balancer

The load balancer must be configured to balance the network load for the ports. For example, to configure ports for HAProxy, edit the /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg file to correspond with the table.
