Hi Julian,

I am using chef-solo from vagrant. I probably should provide this context at the beginning. 

So in theory I shouldn't need to provide the data bag if I am just using chef-solo. Is it right?

Cheers, Tony

Don't data bag item accesses assume you're in client-server mode and
thereby trigger the authentication code?

Tony, I'd suggest using chef-client in local mode rather than Solo if
you have data bags.
