Port from SW - Salt master rsa key issue

@dgingerich Hrm. . .
If you're just entering through the process I don't think it would be the RSA keys then . . . maybe there is a firewall enabled on your Masters/Minions?

@scottalanmiller It's a matter of the person putting the keys into the repository config.
We use GitLab, it's basically instant.
yeah, well, I'm not one of the ones making decisions on this project. I'm just setting up the QA stack. If I could, I would set it up entirely manually. It would take me less time. However, they want it exactly like prod except for the server numbers, and prod is too big to do manually.

Given that it worked and the key regen broke it, it's safe to assume it's a key issue.

That's our prod

I haven't had the opportunity to do anything with the firewall to this point. By default, it is wide open.

I was under the assumption he replaced all of the keys.

Ah, good ol' ubuntu.

Right, that is the break.

One of our big Salt users is @QuixoticJeremy and he is at the MangoMeetup event today.

I'm trying to research this, but this is definitely not a common issue.

Perhaps he should contact vendor support?

I am spinning up an additional system to try the "install salt, connect them, confirm communication, generate rsa keys, confirm disconnect" method. After that, I'll try generating the rsa keys before installing salt and see if that makes any difference. (I hate spinning up most systems, as they cost my company money to just start them up. I start up one, test on it, and delete it a day later, it still costs my company $36.50. So, this test will cost us $73.)

What is the contents of your PKI folder, like this...

update previous post with that info

Of course, trying the same sequence, I cannot reproduce the results. Looks like I'm going to have to rebuild the masters.
Maybe copying the rsa key files to the new systems will be possible.

Possible. Or it might be worth accepting the pain of changing the keys on GIT.

rebuilding the systems did not work. getting the same issue with brand new master under the same name.

You didn't do anything with the keys, you left the new system with its automatically created keys? The minions will not be able to rejoin with the same name, you'll need to remove them and add them again.
