Issue #11431 has been updated by James Turnbull.

You still haven't shown me:

* The error
* The command you're running
* Also your auth.conf would help too - have you configured /run?

Could you please provide that.

Bug #11431: puppet kick missing crucial documentation
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/11431

The page at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/man/kick.html says

> You will most likely have to run 'puppet kick' as root to get access to the 
> SSL certificates.

Please document which certificates that puppet kick uses.  Does it need to read 
the server's CA cert, or the individual hostname certs?  I have found that it 
needs access to the ssldir of the server, not the client from where you are 
running kick.

To avoid having to add --ssldir or --vardir to every puppet kick invocation, it 
would help if we can put this in a section of the puppet.conf file.  Can we do 
something like this?  (my example below doesn't appear to work.

<pre>
[kick]
         vardir = /servers/var/dir
</pre>
