Hostname was not match with the server certificate

[Dmytro Bablinyuk]

Hi Everybody,

I have 2 machines, one that running puppetmasterd and another one that
running client.
Both run Ubuntu.

First I installed 2.25.4 (I think) version and then I have upgraded
Puppet to 2.6.4

Server does not have any DNS entry, so I am trying to use IP address
for the client to connect. Client generates some certificate error.

root@puppet-client-ubuntu:~# puppetd --server 172.16.48.105 --
waitforcert 60 --test
info: Retrieving plugin
err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Failed to generate additional
resources using 'eval_generate': hostname was not match with the
server certificate
err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Could not evaluate: hostname was not
match with the server certificate Could not retrieve file metadata for
puppet://172.16.48.105/plugins: hostname was not match with the server
certificate
err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: hostname was not
match with the server certificate
warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
err: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run

root@puppet-client-ubuntu:~# puppet --version
2.6.4

I am very new to Puppet and most likely I am missing something very
simple.
Any help greatly appreciated

Thank you very much
Dmytro

The hostname 172.16.48.105 used in --server option does not match the
CN or Subject Alternative Name presented in the certificate.

If you are using defaults, add an entry in /etc/hosts for puppet to
172.16.48.105 and connect without the --server option (server hostname
puppet is used by default).

I recommend reading Bruce's blog entry for more details:

Thanks,
