I testing Puppet 0.19.3. If we decide to use it, we''d deploy it across several thousand hosts. The method described for creating client certificates described in the documentation - running "puppetd --server <server> --waitforcert 60 --test" and "puppetca --sign <client>" - is not practical for our installation. I''ve tried creating

Hi - I a ran puppetd -vt against a brand newly build host (which is what I normally do for a new host) and got the usual message: err: No certificate; running with reduced functionality. info: Creating a new certificate request for sega-dev-1. info: Requesting certificate On the puppetmaster, I then list the waiting host with: puppetca --list then sign the key. In this case, I decided that the

Hi, I would like to use Puppet in the cloud (think gogrid) to configure stem images. Virtual machines are created/destroyed on the fly under control of a load monitor. For this reason we cannot sign manually new Puppet clients, instead, we must use Puppet''s autosign feature. At the moment, Puppet just permits to filter client manifest requests with some regex over the hostname of the

Hi: I''m trying to configure Puppet on Ubuntu, and strangely I am never able to generate a certificate because my server never shows any pending certificate requests. Put differently, on the server I am running puppetmasterd and on the client I am able to connect to the server, but the client continues printing notice: Did not receive certificate warning: peer certificate

Hi, I''m using puppet on EC2 to setup my VMs with the following configuration: # puppetd --version 0.25.5 # uname -a Linux hostname.domain 2.6.16-xenU #1 SMP Mon May 28 03:41:49 SAST 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux But I keep facing some timeout from puppetd: warning: peer certificate won''t be verified in this SSL session Exiting; failed to retrieve certificate and waitforcert

Hey Folks, I''m looking at doing automated provisioning of new servers and am trying to integrate puppet into this process. What I''m wondering though is what the best process for securely registering a new node is. At the moment the first time puppet is run I have to then accept the certificate on the puppetmaster and then run puppet again. What I would like to do is accept the

I am trying to come up with a workable solution in managing numerous Mac workstations allowing a high degree of flexibility with regards to certs. My puppet environment is setup to application installation on machines that have been ''imaged'' with a base OS and the puppet and facter apps. So, when a Mac is ''imaged'' and subsequently re-booted, puppet is run at

All, I have --confdir=/etc/puppet/common in my /etc/init.d/puppetmaster and /etc/init.d/puppet files, vardir set to /var/lib/puppet in /etc/puppet/common/puppet.conf, and yet, every time I run puppetca it creates /etc/puppet/ssl. Anyone know why? Doug. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group. To post to this group, send email

Hi, I''ve setup the puppetmaster to start 5 processes each listening on a different port, with an Apache server in front. This works fine for existing clients, however when I try to add a new client (ie. a newly installed machine with no previous puppet configuration) I get this error: err: Could not request certificate: sslv3 alert handshake failure error Any ideas what''s

Hi, Just wondering if anyone had any similar issues OR idea''s on troubleshooting the following problem. I have a client/node registered to the puppet master and it is working without any issues. On the server I can see it compile the catalog in the logs. However when I run ''puppet cert --list --all'' it is not in the list. Note we use auto signing

So does anyone have a working setup with puppet 2.7.11 + ruby 1.9.3 + passenger? I am currently using rack-1.0.1 (rack-1.4.1 had same behavior) and passenger 3.0.11, and I get some authentication problems (shown below). If I use an auth.conf that is wide open (auth any, allow *), the agent can successfully retrieve his catalog and plugins and apply them. Using webrick works fine as well. The

Hi! I''ve installed puppetmaster 2.7.13 on a server with CentOS 6.2 with a rpm supplied by yum.puppetlabs.com. I''ve setup a apache2 vhost with mod_ssl and passenger. The server is configured to autosign the cert requests. The agent installed on the puppetmaster''s server works fine. I''ve a second agent on a server which can sync with the server too. This

Hello I have a puppetmasterd installation running on a Mac OS X 10.6.3 Server with puppet installed via macports. Earlier today it was happily signing requests, before I upgraded puppet from 0.24.8 to 0.25.4. Now I get "Invalid argument": bash-3.2# puppetca --sign bouti.carbonplanet.com bouti.carbonplanet.com err: Could not call sign: Invalid argument The only mention I can find on

I want to deploy puppet with openldap for specific node configuration, but only for specific nodes, every other node (not in LDAP) should follow the ''default'' node definition. Is it possible to mix and match like this? As I try it I am getting err: Could not retrieve catalog: Could not find node ''myhostname'' instead. -- Mark Foster - Sr. Systems Engineer

Hello, How can I eliminate pending signing requests with puppetca?

Hi, installing puppet at my first site was quite easy (not w/o problems, but still). At the second site, I''ve run into something more serious. First things first - I install puppetmaster on existing server, used to keep LDAP db (my puppetmaster DOES NOT use LDAP, it just tries to coexist on the same machine). The thing is, I need to puppet this baby, so I''m running into a

Here we go with puppet 0.25 certificate problems again. I had a system where puppet was running fine. I reinstalled it. Running puppet on the client causes this: "Could not request certificate: Retrieved certificate does not match private key; please remove certificate from server and regenerate it with the current key". Fine... so I run ''puppetca --clean
