Hi there,
been trying to play a bit with the REST api for a couple of things we have
in mind, and found myself quite unable to do so. Checking the source code
(since I found nothing in the documentation) I saw the methods register and
authenticate. Doing this:
require 'chef’
require 'chef/rest’
Chef::Config[:log_level] = :debug
r = Chef::REST.new(“https://vmchef.imim.es”)
r.register(“rest_user”,"******")
I see positive feedback from the log and when I go to the chef web ui I can
see a new registration. I validate it and even give it admin rights
(although I’m not sure what is it for), and them I try to authenticate:
r.authenticate(“rest_user”,"******")
And the log spits all of this:

I’ll keep digging into this, but if someone has any idea it would be most
