I am using the standard auth.conf provided in puppet install for the puppet master which is running through passenger under Nginx. However for most of the catalog, files and certitifcate request I get a 403 response.
### Authenticated paths - these apply only when the client
### has a valid certificate and is thus authenticated
# allow nodes to retrieve their own catalog
path ~ ^/catalog/([^/]+)$
method find
allow $1
# allow nodes to retrieve their own node definition
path ~ ^/node/([^/]+)$
method find
allow $1
# allow all nodes to access the certificates services
path ~ ^/certificate_revocation_list/ca
method find
allow *
# allow all nodes to store their reports
path /report
method save
allow *
# unconditionally allow access to all file services
# which means in practice that fileserver.conf will
# still be used
path /file
allow *
### Unauthenticated ACL, for clients for which the current master doesn't
### have a valid certificate; we allow authenticated users, too, because
### there isn't a great harm in letting that request through.
# allow access to the master CA
path /certificate/ca
auth any
method find

path /certificate/

path /certificate_request

path /facts

# this one is not stricly necessary, but it has the merit
# of showing the default policy, which is deny everything else

Puppet master however does not seems to be following this as I get this error on client

thefile server conf file is as follows (and goin by what they say on puppet site, It is better to regulate access in auth.conf for reaching file server and then allow file server to server all)
[files]
path /apps/puppet/files
allow *
[private]
path /apps/puppet/private/%H
allow *
[modules]

Puppet is picking up the correct settings from the files mentioned because config print command points to /etc/puppet
[amisr1@bangvmpllDA02 puppet]$ sudo puppet config print | grep conf
async_storeconfigs = false
authconfig = /etc/puppet/namespaceauth.conf
autosign = /etc/puppet/autosign.conf
catalog_cache_terminus = store_configs
confdir = /etc/puppet
config = /etc/puppet/puppet.conf
config_file_name = puppet.conf
config_version = ""
configprint = all
configtimeout = 120
dblocation = /var/lib/puppet/state/clientconfigs.sqlite3
deviceconfig = /etc/puppet/device.conf
fileserverconfig = /etc/puppet/fileserver.conf
genconfig = false
hiera_config = /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml
localconfig = /var/lib/puppet/state/localconfig
name = config
rest_authconfig = /etc/puppet/auth.conf
storeconfigs = true
storeconfigs_backend = puppetdb
tagmap = /etc/puppet/tagmail.conf
thin_storeconfigs = false
I checked the firewall rules on this VM; 80, 443, 8140, 3000 are allowed. Do I still have to tweak any specifics to auth.conf for getting this to work?
