Mcollective Failed to set full SSL verified mode error

Question

I'm trying to set up MCollective using jorhett/puppet-mcollective module, according to manual from "Learning Puppet 4" book. I'm getting following error after running "mco ping", "mco inventory node_name" etc.

warn 2016/08/11 07:21:19: activemq.rb:346:in `rescue in ssl_parameters' Failed to set full SSL verified mode, falling back to unverified: RuntimeError: cert, key and ca has to be supplied for verified SSL mode

Here's my configs: Hiera hostname/puppetserver.yaml

# hostname/puppetserver.yaml
classes:
- mcollective::middleware
- mcollective::client
# Middleware configuration
mcollective::client_password: 'VpOS62qqpH3NEVEtP8rQsS2tpq6xwgOJEXsABjYDvoI='

I was also having the same exact issues, but I found that adding the following (shown below) both in the /etc/puppetlabs/mcollective/server.cfg and the /etc/puppetlabs/mcollective/client.cfg on the mcollective/puppet server solved my issue. Be sure to restart the mcollective service for the effect to take place.

I added this to the client.cfg / server.cfg files:

plugin.activemq.pool.1.ssl.key = /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/ssl/private_keys/puppet.esxi.com.pem
plugin.activemq.pool.1.ssl.ca = /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/ssl/ca/ca_crt.pem
plugin.activemq.pool.1.ssl.cert = /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/ssl/certs/puppet.esxi.com.pem

Before I added the entries:

[root@puppet ~]# mco ping

ansible                                  time=57.68 ms

Afterwards:
