Installation Failure (PEBKAC, more than likely)

Hello All -

I'm having issues running chef-client post-validation through the webUI, wondered if anyone can spot my 'gotcha'.

Error as reported in server.log:

 ~ WARNING: making https request to https://puck.test.5to1.com/openid/server/node/Titania without verifying server certificate; no CA path was specified.
