Issue #19982 has been updated by Roger Kennedy.
Status changed from Unreviewed to Needs More Information
Assignee set to William Van Hevelingen
This message is generated because you have `ca=false` in tassadar's
puppet.conf. It's warning you that tassadar is not a CA. The vast majority of
Puppet installations/users only have one Puppetmaster. For them, setting
`ca=false` means Puppet won't function.
Would a message like the following be clearer?
this master is not a CA. this message can be safely ignored if and only if
you have another Puppet CA configured.
Or maybe?
this master is not a CA. Puppet will not function unless you have another
Puppet CA configured!
I'm sure someone else can phrase the message better.
PS: awesome hostnames!

Mar 29 02:53:50 tassadar tassadar puppet-master[11623]: this master is not a CA
</pre>
Our logs are full of the above error. Our CA server is zeratul (puppetca is a
cname for it) and our puppetmaster (tassadar) is has CA set to false and has
ca_server set to puppetca.cat.pdx.edu. All of the clients have ca_server set to
puppetca.cat.pdx.edu as well. So I'm confused why we are getting the error in
the first place. We're using pupppet version 3.1.1 and I think the error was
present in the 2.7.x series as well.
