Ok, I may got what went wrong. Since I'm using puppet in a ubuntu distro, I installed it from repositories, which setup everything to run with puppet user, including file permissions. But after installing it, I only run the puppetmaster it with sudo and --no-daemonize to see messages and stuff.
My guess that this prevented puppetmaster to properly access CA files, and hence produced the error. From that point on I just make everything worse by playing around with puppetca --clean --all. Could that be it? Anyway, since I'm just playing with it I thrown away the instances and start from scratch. After installing it I just edit the autosign.conf and did not run puppetmasterd by hand, running it as daemon, and everything worked fine. Since my goal is to learn puppet, I would like to ask for some help from you guys with the following questions: * The explanation abaove makes sense? * Since puppetmasterd runs under puppet user account, and everything located in /etc/puppet/* is by default setted for user root, should I change permissions to make it work? Thanks again for all the help. I also did not reply all answers individually, but I have read them all and all referenced documents (I'm doing my homework :)). Thanks all!!
