Puppet 2.6.9 (master/clients) Foreman 0.3 Ruby 1.87 (REE) puppet & foreman using apache & passenger (8140 puppet, 8142 foreman) Basically, using foreman for ENC... puppet.conf (master) external_nodes = /etc/puppet/node.rb node_terminus = exec If I use http URL''s, I have no problems. Clients get catalogs, get configurations, update, report to log & foreman. If I use https URL''s, my puppet clients get an error, can''t get catalog but they do still report to log & foreman and the web application works fine. ERROR specifically is... Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Could not find node ''ubuntu.ttinet''; cannot compile Now I don''t have a problem getting the catalog via curl... curl -k https://ubuntu.ttinet:8142/node/ubuntu.ttinet?format=yml --- parameters: puppetmaster: ubuntu.ttinet hostgroup: puppetmaster apt::key: 7F0CEB10 classes: - sudoers::hostgroup - subversion - postfix - ntp - git - etc - apt - sudoers - ldap::configure - ldap::client_install - mysql - apache::service - gems::passenger - apache - firebird - mongodb environment: production and I could even sort of substitute this methodology in foreman''s ENC retrieval code section except that it fails miserably if the node doesn''t exist rather than have puppetmaster supply the ''default node'' classes. -- Craig White ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ craig.white@ttiltd.com 1.800.869.6908 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ www.ttiassessments.com Need help communicating between generations at work to achieve your desired success?
