Description
I have foreman running on one server. I have installed foreman-proxy on puppet server and added smart proxy to the foreman server sucessfully but now when i click on certificates then I receive Unable to get PuppetCA Certificates.
Warning!
ERF12-5356 [ProxyAPI::ProxyException]: Unable to get PuppetCA certificates ([RestClient::NotAcceptable]: 406 Not Acceptable) for proxy https://puppet.example.com:8443/puppet/ca
If you feel this is an error with Foreman itself, please open a new issue with Foreman ticketing system, You would probably need to attach the Full trace and relevant log entries.

Could you have a look into /var/log/foreman-proxy/proxy.log on the Puppet Master? There should be a more specific error in there. Maybe you forgot to add the sudoers rules for foreman-proxy?

Hi Michael,
I have looked into the proxy.log but not find anything useful.
172.16.1.4 - - [29/Sep/2014 12:53:16] "GET /puppet/ca HTTP/1.1" 406 63 0.0029

172.16.1.4 is my foreman server.
I am able to access the URL https://puppet.example.com:8443/features which displays the features and added to the foreman smart proxy.

"SSL/CA unavailable on this machine" suggests, foreman-proxy didn't find your CA files, is ssldir for puppetca correctly set in foreman-proxy's config? Are the permisons correctly set as shown in http://theforeman.org/manuals/1.6/index.html#4.3.8PuppetCA ?
Can the foreman-proxy user access the ca directory? check e.g. with
# sudo -u foreman-proxy ls -l /var/lib/puppet/ssl/ca

Hi Michael,
I am using CentOS 6.5 as root user privileges.
also looked into the error message "E, [2014-09-29T17:20:19.630856 #26438] ERROR -- : Failed to list certificates: Execution of puppetca failed, check log files"
I couldn't find puppetca system binary in puppet version 3.7.1 which may be required by smart-proxy.
It is avaialble with foreman-installer v1.6 which is installed puppet version 2.7.25. Smart-proxy works great on all-in-one type of setup using foreman-installer.
I am not sure if that is matter at all.

Hi Michael,
I am using CentOS 6.5 as root user privileges.
The proxy runs as "foreman-proxy" rather than your own privileges though, so it'd be best to check if that user can see the directory.
also looked into the error message "E, [2014-09-29T17:20:19.630856 #26438] ERROR -- : Failed to list certificates: Execution of puppetca failed, check log files"

It'll use "puppet cert" instead on Puppet 3, it's just the logging calling it "puppetca".
If you can enable debug logging in /etc/foreman-proxy/settings.yml and restart foreman-proxy, you should see the exact command it's running.
If you upgraded from Puppet 2 to 3, you may need to update /etc/sudoers.d/foreman-proxy. See http://projects.theforeman.org/projects/foreman/wiki/FAQ#Upgrade-puppet-from-v2-to-v3-gotchas and ERF12-7740.

You guys are awesome!
It is resolved.
I had to modify /etc/sudoers.d/foreman-proxy. I enabled debugging and found the exact command. I added /usr/bin/puppet cert * and fixed the problem.

Thanks a lot.

Ah great. Don't forget there's an update to config.ru which you should also apply for Puppet 3, it can cause odd problems sometimes.
Just wanted to add that I too had this exact issue, but problem was different. In /etc/sudoers I did not have the includedir directive to add the /etc/sudoers.d path.
So I had to add "#includedir /etc/sudoers.d" to /etc/sudoers file (which is typically there by default)
