[chef] chef behind a firewall

[Franck Meignen < >]

Hi everyone,

I'm starting with chef, i've got my testing plateform, 10 clients in a LAN and it works great.
I got a issue with a chef client, i tried to add a client, a dedicated server outside my office, i make my firewall rules to open the 4000 port.

I search in the doc and the wiki, i dont find any solution.
When i tried to add my external client, my internal plateform can see it, but i  got this error on my client :

INFO: HTTP Request Returned 500 Internal Server Error: 400 "Bad Request"
[Fri, 13 May 2011 09:13:14 +0200] ERROR: Server returned error for http://chef.test.xxx.org:4000/nodes/vserver-xxx.xxx.net, retrying 3/5

I tried to remove and purge "chef paquets" on the client, delete client's configuration on my chef plateform, i tried many times, it always failed.

If anyone can help me.
Thanks for your help

Best regards

Franck
