Я воссоздал node с тем же именем. Я столкнулся с этой ошибкой, установив node и загрузив ее:

Authorization Error:
--------------------
Your validation client is not authorized to create the client for this node (HTTP 403).
Possible Causes:
----------------
* There may already be a client named "node1"
* Your validation client (chef-validator) may have misconfigured authorization permissions.
