While creating a host in Foreman and setting the CHEF proxy field, I run into the following issue error:

[foreman-tasks/action] [E] ERF12-0944 [ForemanChef::ProxyException]: Unable to communicate with Chef proxy, 500 Internal Server Error (ForemanChef::ProxyException)

1. cat /etc/foreman-proxy/settings.d/chef.yml
   ---
   :enabled: true
   :chef_authenticate_nodes: true
   :chef_server_url: https://<ip>/organizations/set
2. smart-proxy client node needs to have some admin right on chef-server
3. in order to retrive all nodes public keys
4. e.g. 'host.example.net'
   :chef_smartproxy_clientname: <name>
5. e.g. /etc/chef/client.pem
   :chef_smartproxy_privatekey: /etc/chef/<name>.pem

1. turning of chef_ssl_verify is not recommended as it turn off authentication
2. you can try set path to chef server certificate by chef_ssl_pem_file
3. before setting chef_ssl_verify to false
4. note that chef_ssl_pem_file must contain both private key and certificate
5. because chef-api 0.5 requires it
   :chef_ssl_verify: false
6. :chef_ssl_pem_file: /path

Also, please note, when enabling the Foreman Plugin, I run into the following issue: [Foreman - Bug #19660 ]
