Issue #17129 has been updated by Max Martin.
To clarify, `pe-puppet` would be the proper owner here. I manually changed one to be owned by `peadmin` in an attempt to break things (though they ended up breaking in a way that was unexpected to me, hence the report). ---------------------------------------- Bug #17129: SSL REST API bails out completely on permissions errors https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/17129#change-74455 Author: Max Martin Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: If the puppetmaster doesn't have permission to access any of the .pem files waiting in the requests directory (in this case, `/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/ssl/ca/requests`), it will bail out completely when all CSRs are requested by hitting `/certificate_statuses/all`. In this example, I have a number of .pem files which the puppetmaster can access, and one that it cannot: <pre> root@master:/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/ssl/ca/requests# ls -al total 60 drwxr-xr-x 2 pe-puppet pe-puppet 4096 2012-10-19 21:18 . drwxrwx--- 5 pe-puppet pe-puppet 4096 2012-10-19 01:55 .. rw-r---- 1 peadmin peadmin 1590 2012-10-19 20:06 example_38463.pem rw-r---- 1 pe-puppet pe-puppet 1590 2012-10-19 20:06 example_46536.pem rw-r---- 1 pe-puppet pe-puppet 1590 2012-10-19 20:06 example_62602.pem rw-r---- 1 pe-puppet pe-puppet 1590 2012-10-19 20:06 example_66483.pem rw-r---- 1 pe-puppet pe-puppet 1590 2012-10-19 21:15 example_67152.pem rw-r---- 1 pe-puppet pe-puppet 1590 2012-10-19 20:06 example_69811.pem rw-r---- 1 pe-puppet pe-puppet 1590 2012-10-19 20:06 example_7469.pem rw-r---- 1 pe-puppet pe-puppet 1590 2012-10-19 21:15 example_78904.pem rw-r---- 1 pe-puppet pe-puppet 1590 2012-10-19 21:15 example_90326.pem rw-r---- 1 pe-puppet pe-puppet 1590 2012-10-19 21:15 example_90906.pem rw-r---- 1 pe-puppet pe-puppet 1590 2012-10-19 21:15 example_92088.pem rw-r---- 1 pe-puppet pe-puppet 1590 2012-10-19 20:06 example_93947.pem </pre> when I attempt to hit `certificate_statuses/all` for the production environment, the whole response is `Permission denied - /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/ssl/ca/requests/example_38463.pem` The API should be able handle the permissions error and return information about all the waiting CSRs, at least those with correct permissions. It should possibly also return information about the .pem file with incorrect permissions. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
