Title: Message Title

Geoff Williams created an issue   Puppet / PUP-4414 Puppet forge doesn't work on Windows out-of-the-box Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: PUP 3.7.4 Assignee: Eric Sorenson Components: Modules, UX, Windows Created: 2015/04/14 11:11 PM Environment: Windows server 2012 Priority: Normal Reporter: Geoff Williams Overview puppet module install doesn't work out-of-the-box on windows. To resolve this, users must follow almost a full page of manual steps from the Puppet Labs Windows troubleshooting guide: https://docs.puppetlabs.com/windows/troubleshooting.html#error-messages Expected behaviour After installing Puppet, the puppet module face should work as intended without any further configuration required Actual behaviour Users receive the message: Error: Could not connect via HTTPS to https://forge.puppetlabs.com / Unable to verify the SSL certificate / The certificate may not be signed by a valid CA / The CA bundle included with OpenSSL may not be valid or up to date” When running the above command. Problems this causes The above error is not very user friendly and gives no advice as to how to solve the problem or that it's a known issue. Users are left to stumble on the above troubleshooting guide either via google or a support ticket. While agents don't usually need to use the module tool, this is not so for developers who are trying to do work on windows. There are often cases when its preferable to setup a windows machine and do testing via puppet apply vs having to provision a fully functional master-agent lab. Suggested fix The windows installer should automatically install the GeoTrust root CA as part of agent installation. This would give windows users a functional system immediately.
