So this turned out to be caused by the fact that I had changed the name of one of our servers and I hadn't signed the cert for it yet.
The error message is not very helpful at all since it references "localhost" instead of the server that's trying to authenticate so I've filed a bug for this: http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2159 Cheers, Scott On Apr 14, 11:55 pm, Scott <scott...@gmail.com> wrote: > So a few days ago, I started seeing large numbers of the following > error in the logs of our puppetmaster (large meaning 5 every second): > > Apr 14 14:49:09 puppet-server puppetmasterd[32314]: Allowing > unauthenticated client localhost(127.0.0.1) access to puppetca.getcert > > Googling this yielded one possible explanation, permissions on the ssl > directories, however adjusting the permissions didn't change anything, > we're still getting the error.
