Hi, I was able to resolve this issue by performing the following action on the server:
sudo rm -rf /etc/chef/client.pem

hi Conrad Taylor,
i got with same error you had, but int my case the Relevant Config Settings: has "/etc/chef/validation.pem" instead for "/etc/chef/client.pem" ,
it is auto generated when i bootstrap with command: knife bootstrap ip-address --ssh-user root -N ChefNode2
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
chef_server_url "https://chefsr.server.com/organizations/abcorg"
validation_client_name "chef-validator"
validation_key "/etc/chef/validation.pem"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
so i tried deleteing "/etc/chef/validation.pem" , doesnt worked out, but i can "knife ssl check -s https://chefsr.server.com/organizations/edrorg" from chefnode2 to chefServer and it also installing chefclient on ChefNode2 but i dont get ChefNode2 in list by " knife node list" from chefworkstation.
thanks
