jhg03a opened a new issue #2578: Change how Traffic Router gets its connectivity to TrafficOps
URL: https://github.com/apache/trafficcontrol/issues/2578
 
 
   Currently we store credentials in the traffic router's traffic_ops.properties file.  I'd like to see us add a new parameter to traffic_ops.properties for the TO API base URL similar to the rest of the TC components store that relationship.
   
   Today, Traffic Router knows where to find TO by reading a field in the CRConfig generated by the url a user was using when performing a snapshot.  That CRConfig is handed off to Traffic Router by way of Traffic Monitor.  By storing the URL in the TR configs directly: you prevent connectivity issues derived from firewalls/dns-name differences at the client/TO relationship, reduce reliance on TM, and appear more consistent with the rest of Traffic Control.
