Issue #7224 has been updated by Jeff McCune.

Status changed from Closed to Re-opened
Assignee deleted (Nick Lewis)
Target version deleted (2.7.0)

# Re-opening #

I'm re-opening this because I discovered we got the implementation slightly 
wrong.

While investigating #3120 I discovered we're picking the wrong certificate when 
displaying the more helpful error message.  This results in this message being 
displayed:

    err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Server hostname 
'maynard' did not match server certificate; expected jeff mccune root 
authority/c=us/st=oregon/l=portland/o=puppet labs/ou=jeff 
mccune/[email protected]

As you can see the list of "expected names" appears to be the full subject of a 
CA certificate, not a list of valid DNS names from a SSL Server certificate.

This error is caused by this logic:  
<https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/commit/99330fa5#L2R97>

I'm re-opening this as a Yak to shave once I finish my investigation of #3120 
as part of the support goalie work this week.

Bug #7224: Bad english: hostname was not match with the server certificate
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7224#change-66380

Author: Mike Judge
Status: Re-opened
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: 
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 
Keywords: openssl certificates 
Branch: 


root@gobo:/etc/puppet# puppetd --test
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

Should be something like:
1) "hostname was not a match with the server certificate"
2) "hostname did not match the server certificate"
3) "all your base are belong to us" :)
