Chef certification check fail "cookbook upload" despite success "knife ssl check"

Question

I had placed crt key from "Distributor", and then checked and successed. But "knife cookbook upload" failed.

Chef Server
- Hostname : "Distributor"
- Cent OS 7
- chef-server-core-12.4.1-1.el7.x86_64
Workstation(kitchen)
- Hostname : "Workstation"
- Cent OS 7
- chefdk-0.11.2-1.el7.x86_64.rpm

Why certification failed, and what is workaround?

[account@Workstation chef-repo]$ knife ssl check
Connecting to host Distributor:443
Successfully verified certificates from `Distributor'
[account@Workstation chef-repo]$ knife cookbook list

[account@Workstation chef-repo]$ knife cookbook upload example

looks like you got the wrong .pem file selected in your knife.rb check your knife.rb and check if your key is correct. it should look something like this (inside your knife.rb)

client_key               "#{current_dir}/yourkey.pem"

The problem was fixed by installing a newer Chef Server Core.
