Custom username with Chef Client

[christoffer....@basalt.se]

I am trying to provision a VM using the chef_client provisioner but it tries to authenticate with my current username. I want to use another one instead. In fact, I do not want to use the .chef folder inside the current directory (in the same folder as the Vagrantfile), but instead use the one in vagrant/.chef since the Chef server for Vagrant is different than the production server.

How do I do this?

How does your Vagrantfile looks?

If you can came up with a command like that works.

ie

sudo su -

cd /vagrant/.chef

su - -u <other user> <command>

you could use a shell script to run your command.

Vagrant.configure(2) do |c|

    chef.chef_server_url = 'https://chef.example.com/organizations/foobar'

    chef.validation_key_path = 'vagrant/.chef/validator.pem'
