It works on a CentOS 7 - but fails on CentOS 8

I would bet that this is some TLS issue between the agent and the cluster.

Look at this error:

<Event Severity="20" Time="1677185231.071113" DateTime="2023-02-23T20:47:11Z" Type="N2_ConnectError" ID="479af99e20ed30b4" SuppressedEventCount="0" ErrorCode="13" Message="Permission denied" ThreadID="9749452796639931957" Machine="127.0.0.1:45893" LogGroup="default" ClientDescription="primary-7.1.27-9749452796639931957" />

There’s two places in the code base that emit a N2_ConnectError and this is one of them: foundationdb/Net2.actor.cpp at 33f8e90f9f5fc8c571b439d11199a0db0f09fcc9 · apple/foundationdb · GitHub.

I would guess that since you said in your other post that FDB 6.0 worked, at some point TLS was switched to being the default :person_shrugging: ?

It’s trying load that pem file, and there’s probably some issue with it. One thing that looks suspicious is that your CA path is blank. I would start there.
