Hi,
I’m trying to bootstrap a new chef client on a newly installed
machine. I’m using the following command:
knife bootstrap -x kelly -P changeme -d ubuntu10.04-gems -N
kelly15 --sudo -r ‘role[developer]’ 10.1.1.15
The installation seem to go ok, but this message appears

Do I have to create the client on chef server first?
Thanks

You shouldn't need to create the client first, it should use the
validator.pem key to create the client.
Are you connecting to hosted chef or open source chef?
Can you look on the client machine in /etc/chef and see what is in there?

Hi,
sorry for taking so long to answer, I was out of the office and didnt
have access to the machines. I installed my own chef server, the open
source version.
Inside the /etc/chef in the client machine I have
client.pem
client.rb
first-boot.json
validation.pem
In /var/chef/cache/chef-stacktrace.out I have this:

Any chance you already registered kelly15 on another machine? Or
registered this client with another name?
Try to delete client.pem, and have chef generate a new client key.
Double check there's no kelly15 client on the server. If there is,
either delete it or use a different name

Well, I am pretty sure I dont have another client with this same name,
and I even tried to give a different node name on the bootstrap
command, and the result was the same. You mention have chef generate a
new client key. How do I do that?

It should be generating a new client key on its own.
Take a look at the management console in the clients list (this is
distinct from the nodes list), make sure it does not list your client,
and also make sure it does list chef-validator.
Next, delete the client.pem file from the node you're testing with,
then restart the chef-client daemon, and watch the client log.
If you still get the unauthorized right away, verify that the
validation.pem that you're sending with the bootstrap is the same as
the one in /etc/chef on the chef server, or regenerate the
validation.pem.

This is my client list from the server

kelly (this is the machine I am running knife bootstrap from)
Next, delete the client.pem file from the node you're testing with,
then restart the chef-client daemon, and watch the client log.
Maybe the problem is in this step. I am using ubuntu on the machine I
am trying to bootstrap the client. I dont see a chef-client on
/etc/init.d. How do I restart the client then?
If you still get the unauthorized right away, verify that the
validation.pem that you're sending with the bootstrap is the same as

It is. I have checked.

Are you connecting to hosted chef or open source chef?
Can you look on the client machine in /etc/chef and see what is in there?

Hi,
I'm trying to bootstrap a new chef client on a newly installed
machine. I'm using the following command:
knife bootstrap -x kelly -P changeme -d ubuntu10.04-gems -N
kelly15 --sudo -r 'role[developer]' 10.1.1.15
The installation seem to go ok, but this message appears

Do I have to create the client on chef server first?
Thanks

It should be generating a new client key on its own.
And it is. After the bootstrapping command I can see a file client.pem
in /etc/chef and there is a key in there.
Are you using one of the standard bootstrap scripts, or a custom one?
Can you verify that the base image you are cloning from doesn't have
anything in /etc/chef?
Next, delete the client.pem file from the node you're testing with,
then restart the chef-client daemon, and watch the client log.
Maybe the problem is in this step. I am using ubuntu on the machine I
am trying to bootstrap the client. I dont see a chef-client on
/etc/init.d. How do I restart the client then?
You can always just killall -2 chef-client (or use PS to look for it and
kill it) then rerun chef-client.
See if that and erasing the client.pem is enough to bring the client back.
Separately, I would think it should have an init script?? I run centos and
use custom rpms to install chef so I don't know what is normal here.
