Forward proxy support for NGINX Plus R34

With R34, NGINX Plus allows NGINX customers to send their license usage telemetry to F5 via an existing enterprise forward proxy in their environment.

NGF should support these fields so a user can configure NGINX Plus to forward usage reports via a forward proxy solution.

mgmt {
    proxy HOST:PORT;
    proxy_username USER;    #optional
    proxy_password PASS;    #optional
}

https://nginx.org/en/docs/ngx_mgmt_module.html

Acceptance

  • allow users to configure forward proxy fields for usage reports when running NGINX Plus
  • sensitive data should be stored in a Secret by the user

Dev Notes:

  • NIC implementation: https://github.com/nginx/kubernetes-ingress/pull/7560
