In the RHCRW documentation it's referred to as mounting a secret you can read the documentation about it at Red Hat's documentation site here. My IBM colleague Pat Fruth came to my rescue, suggesting a capability that allows settings, in the form of files or environment variables, to be injected into all the containers that make up a workspace.

So, knowing that it's possible to create an SSH configuration underneath git to proxy the SSH connection like I need, how to do the same thing in my RHCRW workspace? The solution ProxyJump also make sure SSH-key-based authentication is set up so that I don't have to enter passwords, and use SSH Agent Forwarding so that I don't have to keep my private key on a lot of remote servers.

Here is an example of what is found in my ~/.ssh/config file: Host On another system in my lab environment I have used the OpenSSH ProxyJump configuration option to hop through a 'bastion' system to reach SSH resources outside the isolated network.

My Z environment is in a testing lab without direct connectivity to the Internet, and the demo required that my RHCRW workspace be able to pull and push code to and from a repository on GitHub Enterprise (GHE). The environmentĪs part of the setup of an environment for a customer workshop, I was using an instance of Red Hat CodeReady Workspaces (RHCRW) in an OpenShift cluster on IBM Z. I'm using CodeReady Workspaces running on IBM Z, but the approach is not specific to the IBM Z platform. In this article, I describe how to tailor a Red Hat CodeReady Workspaces installation to work in an environment where direct 'transparent' SSH access to GitHub is not available.
