When running chef-client, I am getting a 400 “Bad Request” error, instead of
the 401 error that I should be getting. the server thereafter shows up in
the chef-server admin interface for registrations, but even after
validation, the server does not show up in the list of nodes and running
chef-client again produces the same error. I’m not really sure what to do
here, though I’ve done a good bit of searching through the documentation.
Looking through the logs on the chef-server, I noticed that there was the
following warning:
“WARNING: making https request to
https://10.4.4.37/openid/server/node/juliet without verifying server
certificate; no CA path was specified.”
and on the next line:
“Discovery failed for https://10.4.4.37/openid/server/node/juliet: Failed to
fetch identity URL https://10.4.4.37/openid/server/node/juliet : Error
connecting to SSL URL https://10.4.4.37/openid/server/node/juliet: hostname
does not match - (Merb::ControllerExceptions::BadRequest)”
What is the cause of this problem and how can I resolve it? Happy to provide
more information if needed.

I'm pretty sure this means that the FQDN on your ssl cert doesn't match the
hostname. Have a look at your chef.json file.
You might also want to look at this thread:
