Hi, I am running puppet-server-2.7.25-1.el5 and puppet-2.7.20-1.el6.rf.noarch clients.
A puppet client which is running for more than 5 years is rebuild and while adding the server to the puppet infrastructure again , we are facing the below error. The client is properly removed from the master before it is re-built. But still while adding the server back , the error occurs. running on Jul19 ..

Still facing the error? Is puppet master caching the expired certificate from cache ? "expired certificate for ca from cache;" I have followed the below puppet docs : https://ask.puppet.com/question/16111/how-to-renew-expired-puppetmaster-certificates/ https://ask.puppet.com/question/32858/warning-certificate-puppet-ca-will-expire-on-how-to-renew-certificates-on-302/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
