Just deployed a new puppet 6.0 client / server setup and getting the classic CSR signing issue (see details below). Please help clarify my understanding so I can troubleshoot this (I'm sure there's a quick fix for this) :
N.B. The usual "remove the SSL dir on the client and clean the cert on the server" is NOT working. So I think this is what happens : 1. The agent creates an SSL cert and sends if to the master to be signed - a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). 2. The master signs the cert with its own CA and the key of the agent. 3. The signed cert is returned to the agent which compares the keys to ensure they match. It would seem that somehow the key being returned is mangled and doesn't match so is rejected by the agent. This happens from the very first attempt to join an agent to the master and I am at a loss of how to fix this. Here's is the request from the agent to the master : ==> /var/log/puppetlabs/puppetserver/puppetserver-access.log <== 10.2.73.60 - - [28/Sep/2018:18:34:07 +0100] "GET /puppet-ca/v1/certificate/andy-puppet6-test.london.company.com HTTP/1.1" 404 65 "-" "Puppet/6.0.0 Ruby/2.5.1-p57 (x86_64-linux)" 3 10.2.73.60 - - [28/Sep/2018:18:34:07 +0100] "GET /puppet-ca/v1/certificate_request/andy-puppet6-test.london.company.com HTTP/1.1" 200 1622 "-" "Puppet/6.0.0 Ruby/2.5.1-p57 (x86_64-linux)" 3 And here is the output from the agent : # puppet agent --test --noop Info: Creating a new SSL key for andy-puppet6-test.london.company.com Info: Downloaded certificate for ca from puppet Error: Could not request certificate: The CSR retrieved from the master does not match the agent's public key.

On the master: puppet cert clean andy-puppet6-test.london.company.com On the agent: 1a. On most platforms: find /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/ssl -name andy-puppet6-test.london.company.com.pem -delete 1b. On Windows: del "\etc\puppetlabs\puppet\ssl\certs\andy-puppet6-test.london.company.com.pem" /f 2. puppet agent -t So the big question is this : what exactly is the CSR public key and what exactly is the agent public key and why should they match ? Any help would be most greatly appreciated ! Thanks very much. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
