Hi team I'm attempting to generate fleet packages with fleetctl using the

--flee-certificate

flag the issue I'm facing is that once I attempt to install the package on an endpoint it fails with either of the two errors below (rpm/msi). If I generate the packages with the

--insecure

flag I am able to install the packages on my endpoints successfully. Any suggestions on a direction to troubleshoot this situation?

Hi! Could you share the full

fleetctl

command used to generate the installers, also please provide the out put of

fleetctl --version

Copy code

./fleetctl package --type msi --fleet-url=<https://PRIVATE_IP:8080> --enroll-secret=SECRET --fleet-certificate /root/f1eet.pem --debug

In the case of rpm, could you check the running processes? (search for

orbit

)

n0b00de

so in both cases the packages were not successful in their installation so no service is ever started. For the rpm you can see the weird "error" i got was just random numbers

OK, @zwass Any ideas? Otherwise I'll try to reproduce tomorrow. (EoD for me.)

no worries I appreciate the quick response

Lucas Rodriguez

You could also try with the latest

fleetctl

v4.7.0

(released today).

Likely has to do with a cert issue I'd guess based on it working with the insecure flag.

zwass

12/14/2021, 11:10 PM

Eg, does the hostname match the SAN on the cert?

n0b00de

12/14/2021, 11:13 PM

checking now

zwass

12/14/2021, 11:15 PM

fleetctl debug connection

could help

n0b00de

12/14/2021, 11:22 PM

Im still researching the SAN but this is the output of the debug. Should it be this brief? I also see it succeed then fail

n0b00de

12/14/2021, 11:33 PM

I am also consistently getting this error when trying to view the SAN details of the pem file. So unsure how to confirm if the SAN matches

Re i/o timeout, could you check you can connect to such host:port using other tools (

nc/netcat

12/14/2021, 11:36 PM

Filed that were delted

n0b00de

12/14/2021, 11:36 PM

@Lucas Rodriguez yup will check now one sec

Lucas Rodriguez

12/14/2021, 11:39 PM

But as you and Zach said, given that

--insecure

works, it's most likely a cert issue.

Yea thats what I figured just couldn't place what would be the issue. Downloaded the file as per the UI.

n0b00de

12/14/2021, 11:55 PM

nc did succeed

For our internal deployment of fleet I was able to download the

fleet.pem

and execute the same

openssl

successfully.

Lucas Rodriguez

(Try inspecting the

fleet.pem

with a text editor and see if it looks good or there are any new line issues in it.)

Lucas Rodriguez

12/15/2021, 12:29 AM

Also, try fetching the server_url config and check if it looks good:

$ fleetctl get config --include-server-config

Copy code

[...]
  server_settings:
    [...]
    server_url: https://...
[...]

Whenever I try to open with textedit or vs code it just says

undefined

Lucas Rodriguez

12/15/2021, 12:51 AM

Mhm... try with

cat fleet.pem

Lucas Rodriguez

12/15/2021, 12:54 AM

If it says

undefined

then please confirm if such file with that content was provided by fleet's download pem option.

Lucas Rodriguez

12/15/2021, 12:54 AM

See you tomorrow!

undefined

is the actual contents of the file it's definitely not going to work. There may be some issue with the UI retrieving your server cert. You can just use the cert pem (NOT the private key!) that you provide to the server.

n0b00de

12/15/2021, 1:28 AM

Alrighty thanks I've confirmed downloading the pem from the UI again still says

undefined

I have confirmed downloading the file from the UI again still says

Hi Let us know if this works.

I tried this last night using the cert.pem under

/etc/pki/tls/cert.pem

and the pem that i downloaded from the UI still reads

undefined

n0b00de

12/15/2021, 3:49 PM

I should also mention if this matters we are using the dockerized variant of fleet

Lucas Rodriguez

12/15/2021, 3:52 PM

You can just use the cert pem (NOT the private key!) that you provide to the server.

By this I think Zach means using the PEM you provide to

fleet serve

--server_cert

FLEET_SERVER_CERT

ah ok checking now

n0b00de

12/15/2021, 7:02 PM

So two things I noticed after downloading the cert file from the UI i get this error in the UI

n0b00de

12/15/2021, 7:03 PM

And secondly I was able to successfully install the package after using the server.cert in

FLEET_SERVER_CERT

but the endpoint is not showing up in the fleet UI but it shows as running

n0b00de

12/15/2021, 8:12 PM

A good update for the team we were able to get it successfully installed and showing up in the fleet UI. So I ended up using the server.cert file to generate the package again this time using the private IP addr in the fleetURL and it worked. Thanks for all the help team I appreciate it
