Overview of the Issue

This issue occurs in the following circumstances:

1. An organization uses a Proxy to route traffic from their Applications to the vFunction Server
2. The Proxy only accepts application/json Content Type Requests
3. The $VF_SERVER/token Request made by the vFunction Controller to the vFunction Server uses the application/x-www-form-urlencoded Content Type
4. The Controller receives a 400 Bad Request Response from the Proxy when trying to generate the Token. And, subsequent vFunction APIs will not complete without a Token

Steps to Resolve the Issue

1. Access the machine on which the Application and vFunction Controller runs
2. Modify the installation.yaml

$BASE_DIR/vfunction/etc/sysconfig/installation/instances/default-java/installation.yaml

$BASE_DIR\\vfunction\\config\\installation\\instances\\default-java\\installation.yaml

3. Add the field and value controller.json_auth: true

controller:
  name:
  host:
  org_id:
  app_id:
  client_id:
  client_secret:
  type: java
  jolokia_port: 8778
  instance_id: 
  json_auth: true

3. Run the upgrade or installation script to apply the changes and send future $VF_SERVER/token requests as application/json Content Types

bash $BASE_DIR/vfunction/opt/vfunction/controller-installation/upgrade.sh -i default-java

powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Command "$BASE_DIR\\vfunction\\controller-installation\\install.ps1 -instance default-java -agentMode true -runAsServices false"
