New Host - ERROR: Attempt to remove nonexistent client certificate
Description
Good morning together,
i have an issue in foreman that new created hosts i deploy on foreman-vmware raising an Error in the logs.
30.12.2016, 08:10:59 ERROR Attempt to remove nonexistent client certificate for testvm01.my-domain.de
30.12.2016, 08:11:04 ERROR Attempt to remove nonexistent client certificate for testvm01.my-domain.de
30.12.2016, 08:11:32 ERROR Attempt to remove nonexistent client certificate for testvm01.my-domain.de
This message comes multiple times. After a while, the build token turns red.
On the puppet agent side, there is no error. It sends fully clean reports. I also need multiple times to delete a host. The first time, i get always this error:
Oops, we're sorry but something went wrong Failed to destroy the record
The puppetmaster is a fresh installation. I have follow the installation instructions in the documentation.
Here some details:
- Foreman 1.13.2
- Puppet 4.8
- deployment over foreman-vmware
- the nodes are in most cases windows agents

This error message is harmless, it can be ignored. Foreman will attempt to delete any pre-existing Puppet certificates to ensure there won't be any name conflict when the new host's certificate is created. If it didn't exist before, you'd get this harmless message.
I'm not sure that it should be "ERROR" level though - what log is that line from exactly, and can you provide more context to it? I don't recognise the format.
Your host deletion issue is likely entirely unrelated, please file a new bug with the corresponding logs.
