I tried this link to set up a Chef Server, workstation and nodes. While bootstrapping a new node from a workstation to install a client on that node, I got the below error:
Chef Client failed. 0 resources updated in 14 seconds [2016-04-18T08:46:31+00:00] FATAL: Stacktrace dumped to /var/chef/cache/chef-stacktrace.out [2016-04-18T08:46:31+00:00] FATAL: Please provide the contents of the stacktrace.out file if you file a bug report [2016-04-18T08:46:31+00:00] ERROR: 413 "Request Entity Too Large" [2016-04-18T08:46:31+00:00] FATAL: Chef::Exceptions::ChildConvergeError: Chef run process exited unsuccessfully (exit code 1) This is my bootstrap command:
knife bootstrap server_name -x username -P password --sudo --use-sudo-password I added Ohai::Config[:disabled_plugins] = ["passwd"] to /etc/chef/client.rb file on the node and re-ran the command from workstation but got the same error. Can someone help me with this?
Thanks in advance.

The knife bootstrap command overwrites the whole client.rb config every time you run it. You would either have to make a new bootstrap template including that snippet (if you're planning to do this one a large number of machines) or let it fail, edit the config, and then run sudo chef-client on the machine to let it register.

If you're using Che-12.8.1 or later you can utilize the knife bootstrap client.d feature:
You should be able to create a file named .chef/bootstrap/client.d/disabled_plugins.rb with the line:
Ohai::Config[:disabled_plugins] = ["passwd"] If you're using the chef-client cookbook to manage your chef-client config during the run you'll need to watch your run to make sure those aren't getting into a fight and that the cookbook doesn't helpfully remove that file and re-run ohai and balloon your node size (I haven't played with this so don't know either way).
