[Puppet Users] Could not request certificate: undefined method `closed?' for nil:NilClass
Hi list, I am trying to get a puppet certificate on a new client but I get error: err: Could not request certificate: undefined method `closed?' for nil:NilClass I googled and found that it had something to do with reverse DNS lookup, the client is behind a NAT firewall so I assume a reverse lookup will fail. Can I bypass this somehow? Puppet version on master and client is 0.25.4 Thanks, regards -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.

To be a bit more clear. This is a bug in the networking code that is hiding the real (useful) error message.

The client is Ubuntu 10.04. Like I said the client is behind a nat firewall, can that be the problem? First, and someone should have probably explained this to you, if you upgrade the major version (0.25-2.6) of the client to be above the server, you will have problems, but this doesn't sound like that. To me it sounds like you are behind a restrictive corporate firewall, or else your server is configured through something other than puppet, to refuse communications from wherever you're connecting from. This would be a hardware firewall or iptables or something. Does ping work from that box? Can you ssh in from that box (assuming ssh is turned on)? Do any other services work in that direction? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.
