Charles,

I found the solution. Someone opened a bug on this. I can't find it right now, but you need to add /organizations/${short_name} to your chef server URL on the client side. I presume that's due to the multi tenancy. Chalk it up to more bad documentation.

Now I can list users with knife, and cookbook list doesn't return an error. I attempted to upload cookbooks with berkshelf, and no error was returned. Attempting to list the cookbooks then returns nothing. I modified the chef_server_url in the berkshelf config file, and updated the URL, no change. Still no cookbooks returned. Upgraded berkshelf to latest version. Still no change.

I might be doing something wrong. I might not. Lack of docs makes it hard to know.

Doug

I just installed the latest version of chef server, and ran these commands:

dpkg -i chef-server-core_12.0.1-1_amd64.deb
chef-server-ctl reconfigure
chef-server-ctl user-create doug Douglas Garstang " target="_blank"> "password" --filename doug.pem
chef-server-ctl org-create slice "Foo Technologies" --association_user doug --filename validator.pem

I then copied the keys to my local system, and configured the client.

Attempting to run a 'knife cookbook list' on the client gets me:

Douglass-MacBook-Pro:.chefvm doug$ knife cookbook list

I then tried to a 'knife user list' which resulted in:

Douglass-MacBook-Pro:.chefvm doug$ knife user list
ERROR: You authenticated successfully to https://chef01.dev.slicetest.com:443 as doug but you are not authorized for this action
Response:  missing read permission

which is strange because of the "--association_user doug" above. What am I missing?
