Solution

  • you will need to set the proxy setting in chef-client configuration

    http_proxy The proxy server for HTTP connections. Default value: nil.

    http_proxy_pass The password for the proxy server when the proxy server is using an HTTP connection. Default value: nil.

    http_proxy_user The user name for the proxy server when the proxy server is using an HTTP connection. Default value: nil.

    you might like to leverage chef-client cookbook to set these settings
