Fog Client "Middleware::Response Private key path not found"
-
I’m trying to register some Windows 10 hosts so that I can power them off with Fog (server runs Ubuntu 20.04), but I seem to be getting a cert related error in the client’s logs. I have tried the following solutions I saw in other posts with no luck:
- changing the permissions of
/opt/fog/snapins/sslto 777 (its already owned by fogproject:ww-data) - reinstalling the client
- wiping and reinstalling the fog server
- checking the ssl path for the node, this is set to
/opt/fog/snapins/ssl, if I check on the filesystem that is a valid path, with the following files/permissions:
drwxrwxrwx 3 fogproject www-data 4096 Nov 30 17:02 ../ drwxrwxrwx 2 fogproject www-data 4096 Nov 30 17:02 CA/ -rwxrwxrwx 1 fogproject www-data 85 Dec 1 10:56 ca.cnf* -rwxrwxrwx 1 fogproject www-data 1647 Dec 1 10:56 fog.csr* -rwxrwxrwx 1 fogproject www-data 215 Dec 1 10:56 req.cnf* -rwxrwxrwx 1 fogproject www-data 3243 Dec 1 10:56 .srvprivate.key*``` Is there anything else I am missing? Here is a snippet from the client logs:12/1/2022 10:58:57 AM Middleware::Response Private key path not found

@turtledillpickle It seems, to me, that it’s not able to download the private key, and I’m not quite sure why, maybe because it’s failing to get registered with a security token? This could be because the token is already defined for this host.
Please try finding the registered host in the UI and click the Reset Host Encryption button.

@tom-elliott I’ve seen that button for other hosts before, but dont see it on this one for some reason. I did have a pending MAC address that I just approved, but that didnt seem to make any difference
-
@tom-elliott After approving the MAC address, the logs on the client seem to be complaining about something else now

I was able to resolve this by removing my prepopulated
/opt/fog/.fogsettingsfile and going through the prompts from the installer. I suspect the line causing my issues wascaCreated='yes'. I had copied this over from another installation.
