SSL peer had some unspecified issue with the certificate it received

[Gaurav Bajaj]

Hi there,

We upgraded to puppet 5.5.0 recently, so far it's working fine but we see lots of issue with SSL certs. Currently, we are using self-signed certs ( I know that's not the best way to handle certs and we do have plans to move away from self-signed certs) 

We using below API's to delete/revoke certs. 

https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/5.5/http_api/http_certificate_status.html

I see that sometimes it fails with the following error. Please note I am using below DELETE  API.  

DELETE /puppet-ca/v1/certificate_status/:hostname?environment=:environment

Error:

delete_host: libcurl error 35 (SSL connect error): SSL peer had some unspecified issue with the certificate it received."

Does anyone encounter this error?  It looks like a bug to me. I hit it a few times and It's intermittent. 

Thanks for the help!

Thanks
