Hi all,
My chef-server is COMPUTE1 (in capital letters) and workstation is COMPUTE2 (in capital letters) and I am trying to upload a cookbook to the server.
user@COMPUTE2:~/chef-repo$ sudo knife cookbook upload sudo
Uploading sudo [0.1.0]

Use `knife ssl check` to troubleshoot your SSL configuration.
If your Chef Server uses a self-signed certificate, you can use
`knife ssl fetch` to make knife trust the server's certificates.

I tried knife ssl check and it returns everything is ok.
user@COMPUTE2:~/chef-repo$ sudo knife ssl check
Connecting to host COMPUTE1:443

knife ssl fetch is working fine too
user@COMPUTE2:~/chef-repo$ sudo knife ssl fetch
WARNING: Certificates from COMPUTE1 will be fetched and placed in your trusted_cert

My hostnames are in capital letters. Is that the reason why this is not working? I am unable to change the hostname because of some application compatibility/limitations. Could someone please help.
Thanks,
