240 others have self-registered via this method just fine.

/etc/chef/validation.pem exists and is correct.

/etc/chef/boot.json file:

{
"run_list": ["role[rcf-basic-rhel]"]
}

/etc/chef/client.rb we drop in place before the 1st run:

log_level :auto
log_location STDOUT
chef_server_url "https://cm-master.our.org"
validation_client_name "chef-validator"
# Using default node name (fqdn)

file_backup_path "/var/chef/backup"
file_cache_path "/var/chef/cache"
cache_options({ :path => "/var/chef/cache/checksums", :skip_expires
=> true })

# set the proxy env variable so rubygems works correctly
ENV['http_proxy'] = "http://gatekeeper.our.org"
ENV['HTTP_PROXY'] = "http://gatekeeper.our.org"

Ohai::Config[:disabled_plugins] = ["passwd"]

The 1st run on the node and its failure:

chef-client --log_level debug --environment production -j
/etc/chef/boot.json

*Groan* Some Ruby net/http bug is blowing up the thing that's supposed to give you a pretty/humane error message. As best I can tell, you're getting a HTTP 400 back from the server. Anything in the server logs (`chef-server-ctl tail` if you're on Chef 11)?
