[Puppet Users] Weird encoding error: "0xF3" to UTF-8 in conversion from ASCII...

Hello,

My name is Álvaro Acción and I''m currently an student trainee at
CiTIUS<http://citius.usc.es/>.
My task is to adapt and integrate the current configuration management
software (CMS from now on), which is completely based on puppet (only a few
minor one-liners are used for smoe specific tasks) to Window 7 based
systems.

Introduction aside, the problem I''m facing is:
> I had a puppetmaster, version 3.2.2, running in a Ubuntu 12.04 LTS machine serving some manifests for testing purposes - this one working
correctly as per the tests conducted with some linux clients. Certs and all
the access stuff configured. All of it was painstakingly tested.

So the puppetmaster is up to date and works, that''s a no brainer
> I''ve deployed the puppet windows clients. They are also using
version3.2.2, directly taken from open source puppet installation providers. After
getting dns resolution working and tested, I fired the puppet agent in
order to check if the client was detected by the master, and vice-versa. My
surprise cames when, after logging something along the lines of "Generating
a new certificate for client", the console spits an error: Could not
prepare for execution: "0xF3" to UTF-8 in conversion from ASCII-8BIT
to
UTF-8 to UTF16-LE". From what i''ve seen, the first part is an
standard
error message that cames from puppet. From my undestanding, the second part
is a ruby exception related to enconding (painfully and obviously related
to encoding).

Some facts:
- The error is the same with puppetmasters in versions 3.2.2 and 2.7.X
- My best guess is that is some sort of comunication problem, since
there is no cert sent for signing to the puppetmaster
* It could also be some error when sending the cert, i can not be
sure

- I test the config with "puppet agent --server=pupbuntu.inv.usc.es
--no-daemonize --verbose" It''s an internal network, no access from
outside,
running locally (with the domain name tweaked to simulate the actual
network). This is just to show the command, no actual interest int the
network whatsoever.

As I''ve not found any useful information regarding the error in any
puppet
related site, forum or list, I''ve decided to open this thread to see if
someone can throw some insight in this matter.

Thanks

0xfe is OACUTE in latin-1. Seems like ruby doesn''t like your name. 
Recent rubies strictified their behavior around character encodings. 
This message is a common fallout from that.

As a short-time workaround, try to avoid giving the puppet agent 
non-ascii characters. Usual implicit sources are the current working 
directory, the username, the computer name and other environmental sources.

As a mid-term solution, check out the puppetlabs bugtracker whether 
someone has already hit and reported that problem. If not, report it 
yourself, so you''ll be in the loop when a fix is available.

It sounds like puppet is using C:\Users\Acción\.puppet to store its data,
and due to https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/17010 is failing.

Are you running cmd.exe with elevated privileges (Run as Administrator) as
described here:
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/windows/running.html#security-context

Can you run the agent with --trace --debug, and include the resulting
output to this thread?

[Puppet Users] Re: Weird encoding error: "0xF3" to UTF-8 in conversion from ASCII...

A little update. I don''t know the real reason behind the problem, but
it
seems that after changing the network address of the server the problem has 
suddenly dissapeared. The trace I pasted is the only clue I''ve got.

Now I get a error when calling fork(), but it''s a known bug and has
already
a temporal solution.
And after that one, a SSL error. I''m not at work no so I''ll
try to update
tomorrow with more info.

Thanks!

[Puppet Users] Re: Weird encoding error: "0xF3" to UTF-8 in conversion from ASCII...

I''ve confirmed it''s not the time/date sync. It''s not
a firewall. It''s not
the software version, it does not work in 3.0, 3.2.2 or even 3.2.3-rc1.

Can it be the domain in which machines are? The windows one has no domain 
asociated. I don''t see how can this relate to the error but...

The error is this one: "SSL_connect SYSCALL returned=5 errno=0
state=SSLv2/v3
read server hello A"

This happens once the client cert is signed in the puppetmaster.

[Puppet Users] Re: Weird encoding error: "0xF3" to UTF-8 in conversion from ASCII...

And again, the issue dissapeared by itself. This is completely ridiculous. 
I just powered the pcs and virtual machines on, fired the agent and 
everything ran correctly. I don''t know if anyone has experience with
puppet
in windows and would like to share his opinion, but so far, if there
isn''t
a REALLY good reason, I would not deploy it in something that''s the 
slightest bit important.

>This shows that the agent tried to make an SSL connection to the master and
failed. Puppet then tries to log the exception to the console[1]. In the
process, puppet attempts to encode the string in UTF-16LE (windows''
native
wide character encoding), but obviously fails.

I can reproduce the exception just in ruby. Given a file encoding.rb:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
detail =
''Acción''.force_encoding(''ASCII-8BIT'')
puts detail.encode(''UTF-16LE'')

Using ruby 1.9.3:

C:\work\puppet>ruby encoding.rb
encoding.rb:3:in `encode'': "\xC3" to UTF-8 in conversion from
ASCII-8BIT to
UTF-8 to UTF-16LE (Encoding::UndefinedConversionError)
        from encoding.rb:3:in `<main>''

The problem appears to be that ruby (or ruby''s openssl bindings) are
constructing an exception whose message is an ASCII-8BIT encoded string,
instead of the encoding currently in use.

Does the agent or master hostname, or any part of the master''s
certificate,
e.g. common name, locale, state, etc, contain any non US-ASCII characters?
