I'm using the standard webrick server with puppet, and I just started getting this today (for no apparent reason).

info: Loading fact custom_facts
info: Retrieving plugins
err: /File[/var/puppet/lib]: Failed to generate additional resources during transaction: Certificates were not trusted: tlsv1 alert decrypt error
err: /File[/var/puppet/lib]: Failed to retrieve current state of resource: Certificates were not trusted: tlsv1 alert decrypt error Could not describe /plugins: Certificates were not trusted: tlsv1 alert decrypt error
info: Loading fact custom_facts
err: Could not retrieve catalog: Certificates were not trusted: tlsv1 alert decrypt error
warning: Not using cache on failed catalog


I've deleted my certificate, regenerated it, resigned it, and then this error message came again. Anybody run into this or have any clues what to look for?

Thanks,

Tim

What do the puppet client and puppet server think the time is?

That's an interesting idea: the client and the server are on the same
machine.<br><br><div>I wiped out the /var/puppet/ssl directory and

GMAIL is driving me crazy... i have no idea why it started to
mess up like this.

That's an interesting idea: the client and the server are on the same machine.

I wiped out the /var/puppet/ssl directory and /var/puppet, and
regenerated the cert from scratch. Still the same error :(

It also may be noteworthy to mention that I'm using the same cert for
more than one machine. It looks like this may be what's messing
things up. I was hoping to have a way to automatically connect a new
machine to puppet with out having to pair a new cert. I guess I'm
wrong in my approach.

I found the issue: my mass propagation script was blowing away the
server cert information when deploying the client certs to the
machines. Making me feel really, really silly, and wishing I had the
last 2 hours back.
