[chef] Upgrade to Chef 11: Unsupported `json_class` type 'Chef::WebUIUser'

[Steffen Gebert < >]

Hi,

I've been again trying to upgrade our Chef server to 11.

`knife upload` fails with

> ERROR: JSON::ParserError: Unsupported `json_class` type 'Chef::WebUIUser'

When I remove all the .json files from user/, the upload succeeds.

`knife user list` also shows them to me, but I can't login to the web
interface using the old password.

After resetting my password through the API, I'm able to login.
We don't have that many users, so it might be possible that everybody
does this, however it feels not very convenient and the way to go.

Anybody with an idea, what the error might mean?

Thanks
Steffen
