Private key failed

[Raymond Bell]

@Tom-Elliott so i need to upload the new client to all 900 computers?

[Tom Elliott]

@Raymond-Bell You shouldn’t need to do anything because the client’s auto update.

Does the /opt/fog/snapins/ssl/.srvprivate.key exist on the 10.24.28.18 server?

[Raymond Bell]

@Tom-Elliott Client is updated on all computers
This was on a test computer i just had put a image on and the image has the old 9.11
Did not give it time to update

MY MISTAKE!!!

[Tom Elliott]

@Raymond-Bell So you’re good to go now?

Just re-imaged going to let it sit and update the client and see what happens. but i checked random computers i imaged from last week with same image and they are doing fine. So i am guessing i did not give it time to update after i imaged it. Going to check it and make sure after lunch. Will let you know…

@Tom-Elliott
It still has not up to 9.12
How long does it take? it has been about 1 1/2 hour
Is there a way to force this update to a client

The client will only update if it can authenticate. You have to get the private key not found error fixed before the client will function. If this error was not present, the client would auto update within a minute.

@Jbob
Thats what i was thinking so it has to be something with the new trunk

[Joe Schmitt]

@Raymond-Bell for the record I too had this issue but upgrading to the latest revision in trunk fixed it.

[Raymond Bell]

@Jbob Updating now to r5136 and will see what happens

[Raymond Bell]

@Tom-Elliott @Jbob Update trunk to r5136 and still getting same error

And the key is there

fog@fog-virtual-machine14:/opt/fog/snapins/ssl$ ls
CA  fog.csr
fog@fog-virtual-machine14:/opt/fog/snapins/ssl$ ls .?*
.srvprivate.key

..:
ssl

@Raymond-Bell These are the files you should have. Check the permissions too.

@Wayne-Workman

[Wayne Workman]

@Raymond-Bell Have you tried resetting the encryption on this particular host? It’s done in the web UI under the host’s general area.

[Raymond Bell]

@Wayne-Workman
Yes, But i had to add it to a group by its self first to get the Reset Option

[Wayne Workman]

@Raymond-Bell There is a manual method for resetting the encryption on all hosts here: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=FOG_Client

This method would also work on an individual host but you’d need to modify the SQL appropriately with a WHERE clause.

[Raymond Bell]

@Wayne-Workman So you are saying stop apache2 and try running this and see what happens?

Manually reset encryption on ALL hosts

This applies to FOG 1.3.0 where the New Client is in use and for some reason you need to manually reset the encryption for all hosts.

mysql
use fog
UPDATE hosts SET hostPubKey=“”, hostSecToken=“”, hostSecTime=“0000-00-00 00:00:00”;
