Problem with HTTPS upgrade

git checkout working
Switched, Pulled, errored about changed, Deleted the packages dir, pulled.
Should I run buildIpxe?
-
@sbenson if you would like, please.
Though I’m going to imagine the pull failed to switch.
Try:
git reset --hard git checkout working git pull /root/buildIpxe TRUST=/var/www/fog/management/other/ca.cert.pem cd bin ./installfog.sh -y -
@tom-elliott the whole problem is the -S, so i am guessing you want a -S in there too?
EDIT: Did not work still, and is listed as http:// not https:// so default.ipxe didn’t get changed
EDIT2: Hardcoded https in /tftpboot/default.ipxe. now it booting says https but still file not found -
@sbenson Open https://10.63.76.44/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php in your browser again and see if there are still http:// URLs or https:// now! Post the full output here if you would like us to have a look as well.
-
@sebastian-roth it’s all https now
-
@sbenson Please post the output and a picture of the error on screen as well. I am pretty sure there is something that we all overlook but might notice when we see listing and picture of the error.

@sbenson
I just went through this exact process to get HTTPS working for my fog deployment. One of the more helpful things, especially for where you are at right now, was to enable debugging on the ipxe build as the file not found error was due to a couple of other issues related to the certificate. Additionally, although it shouldn’t have been necessary, building the CA certificate into the ipxe build solved another issue I had with it. To do the above, using Tom’s script, you would pass CERT and DEBUG to it like so (I used my own CA cert and not the FOG one, so the paths were different for me, but should be correct for you. Additionally, tls is likely the only debug option that you might need, but just in case I included the others):/root/buildIPXE CERT=/var/www/fog/management/other/ca.cert.pem TRUST=/var/www/fog/management/other/ca.cert.pem DEBUG=tls,x509,certstoreOnce built, you’ll of course need to reinstall FOG with the new build. When the client boots, it should give you much more insight into what is happening and why it is reporting the file cannot be found (assuming building in the cert doesn’t solve the issue you’re having). Once it booted, I ran into an issue with the check-in script not understanding the HTTPS redirect, but this is resolved in the working version now (I’m personally on the current release version, with some custom changes that are already in the working version).
Hope it helps.
EDIT: Oh, should probably also point out that if you do try this and eventually get it working, removing the debugging after would be a good idea so your systems don’t spew out debug text on boot.

@bmcalister Thank you, I’m not familiar with the process to build in certificates to this helps me out just as much as the community as a whole. I didn’t even know there was a CERT argument that could be passed in.
@sbenson Hopefully this helps you too and sorry I didn’t know about this sooner.
-
@bmcalister Well guess what, it’s working now. Something in the
/root/buildIPXE CERT=/var/www/fog/management/other/ca.cert.pem TRUST=/var/www/fog/management/other/ca.cert.pem DEBUG=tls,x509,certstorefixed it. So, turning debugging off might not work. Deploying an image now to see if that works, which seems to be working.
-
@tom-elliott said in Problem with HTTPS upgrade:
CERT argument
Oh I am so over this issue i am blindly copying and pasting commands that look correct at first glance. I totally missed the CERT= argument
-
Here’s something else I have found now. Deploying an image is going at 127MB/min, where previously it was going at 8GB/min
-
@sbenson Maybe a fluke? Mind restarting the fog server see if it helps out a little?
I doubt there’s anything else causing it as the init’s have nothing to do with the network boot process (after iPXE releases the init’s and kernels) which hasn’t changed beyond the change to actually follow the redirects back to the fog server in https mode as required.
-
@tom-elliott I will reboot it(its a VM), but I also attempted to register a host and it didn’t work 3 times.

@sbenson No Viable mac’s to use… hmmmm. I’ll take a quick look for that.
-
So the No Viable mac’s to use comes from the host page when it’s attempting to add the primary mac to the host. I know this portion works as I have deregistered and registered multiple hosts even in the latest working tree. Do you have MAC Filters setup that maybe this machine’s mac address is being filtered out before it gets a chance to use it?
-
@tom-elliott No, no mac filters setup, this is a new laptop that I have been testing only with fog. I just rebooted the server, and now its going at ~1GB/min
-
@sbenson Maybe patch cable is iffy? There’s really loads of variables that can cause speed issues and nothing has been changed in regards to partclone with the exception of hfsplus to patch a 32 bit integer overflow potential. So if it’s going so slow I would say start by checking the network cable, switch it’s connected to, etc…
I don’t know anything else on the server beyond image replication, but that only occurs if you have multiple storage nodes (which I’m just guessing you don’t at this point).
The no suitable mac’s issue might be due to the https switchover, though everything else appears to be working as expected. I know the mac address is “usable” so I’ll see what I can do to try to replicate it.
-
@tom-elliott I’ll swap it out for another, it was working fine the last time I imaged a machine. I’ll let you know
-
@sbenson Nope still slow
EDIT: New patch, 3 different ports. Could it be because the content wasn’t actually over https previously… Registering still doesn’t work. Though I am still working off of the “Working” trunk. I will try 1.5.0 RC8 tomorrow with the debugging turned off.
