Issue #2031 has been updated by Mikhail T..

Status changed from Closed to Re-opened
Target version deleted
Affected version changed from 0.24.7 to 0.25.0
Keywords set to waitforcert

I'm afraid, the handling of *waitforcert* is still messed up... Trying to get 
puppetd to come up and wait certificate-signing fails _whatever_ is in the 
waitforcert argument:

> m...@client:/ (165) time ~mteterin/sbin/puppetd --server server --waitforcert 
> 121 --test
> warning: peer certificate won't be verified in this SSL session
> warning: peer certificate won't be verified in this SSL session
> warning: peer certificate won't be verified in this SSL session
> Exiting; no certificate found and waitforcert is disabled
> 2.802u 0.781s 0:05.10 70.1%     0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w

identical output to:

> m...@client:/ (166) time ~mteterin/sbin/puppetd --server server --waitforcert 
> 0 --test
> warning: peer certificate won't be verified in this SSL session
> warning: peer certificate won't be verified in this SSL session
> warning: peer certificate won't be verified in this SSL session
> Exiting; no certificate found and waitforcert is disabled
> 2.831u 0.779s 0:05.10 70.5%     0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w

And if I am doing something wrong, puppetd is not helping me figure it out...



----------------------------------------
Bug #2031: waitforcert option documentation is inconsistent with the code.
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2031

Author: Paul Lathrop
Status: Re-opened
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: James Turnbull
Category: documentation
Target version: 
Affected version: 0.25.0
Keywords: waitforcert
Branch: 


I was alerted to this issue by the discussion at 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=509566

The documentation in puppetd --help says:
<pre>
waitforcert:  This option only matters for daemons that do not yet have
              certificates and it is enabled by default, with a value of
              120 (seconds). This causes +puppetd+ to connect to the
              server every 2 minutes and ask it to sign a certificate
              request. This is useful for the initial setup of a puppet
              client. You can turn off waiting for certificates by
              specifying a time of 0.
</pre>

However, this is inconsistent with the code in 
source:lib/puppet/executables/client/certhandler.rb which says:
<pre>
                def retrieve_cert
                    caclient = Puppet::Network::Client.ca.new()

                    while true do
                       begin
                           if caclient.request_cert 
                               break if read_new_cert
                           else
                               Puppet.notice "Did not receive certificate"
                               if @one_time 
                                   Puppet.notice "Set to run 'one time'; 
exiting with no certificate"
                                   exit(1)
                               end
                           end
                       rescue StandardError => detail
                          Puppet.err "Could not request certificate: %s" % 
detail.to_s
                          exit(23) if @one_time
                       end

                       sleep @wait_for_cert 
                    end
                end
</pre>
