Hi,
Starting with a fresh chef server (0.9.12) is it possible to
use/authenticate knife to query the server?
That is I only have the clients chef-validator and chef-webui, and the
keys on the server (via a mount)
With this knife file:
current__dir = File.dirname(FILE)
log_level :debug
log_location $stdout
node_name "chef-validator"
client_key "#{File.dirname(current_dir)}/etc/client.pem"
validation_key "#{File.dirname(current_dir)}/etc/validation.pem"
chef_server_url "http://localhost:4000"
cache_type 'Memory'
cache_options( :path => "#{ENV['HOME']}/.chef/checksums" )
cookbook_path
["#{current_dir}/../cookbooks","#{current_dir}/../site-cookbooks"]
I'm getting this error:
$ knife client list -c /tmp/chef/.chef/knife.rb
DEBUG: Using configuration from /tmp/chef/.chef/knife.rb
DEBUG: Signing the request as chef-validator
DEBUG: Sending HTTP Request via GET to localhost:4000/clients
WARN: HTTP Request Returned 401 Unauthorized: Failed to authenticate.
Ensure that your client key is valid.
/home/hedge/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p136/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/http.rb:2295:in
`error!': 401 "Unauthorized" (Net::HTTPServerException)
Appreciate any hints or tips.
The chef-webui user is the only admin that is created when the server first
starts, so you want to authenticate as that user. For example, knife COMMAND
-u chef-webui -k /etc/chef/webui.pem should work correctly. This is what the
knife configure --initial does internally to create a new administrator
for you.
Hmm, this works:
knife client list -c /tmp/chef/.chef/knife.rb
but this
knife client create monkey -f /tmp/chef/monkey.pem -c
/tmp/chef/.chef/knife.rb
complains.
Sorry, forgot the error message:
edit_data': Please set EDITOR environment variable (RuntimeError) from /home/hedge/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p136@bbb_vm_monitor/gems/chef-0.9.12/lib/chef/knife/client_create.rb:53:in run'
Use --no-editor (-n for short) to turn off editing. Or you could do
something crazy like set editor to a program that edits the file. But -n
will suffice for most uses 
Great thanks.

I'm executing this using Aruba, as most are likely to if
the write feature files, so setting the Environment isn't possible.
This is a bug right?
I've only been able to find this0, which doesn't seem related.
The work around seems to be:
-
Run this, using Aruba's interactive run:
bash -c 'EDITOR=vim knife client create monkey -f /tmp/chef/monkey.pem
-c /tmp/chef/.chef/knife.rb'
-
Using Aruba, type :q
Now you have created the client and saved the key.....
Any other suggestions I've missed?
