Can't delete host from Foreman when puppet certificate doesn't exist

Support
1

I've setup a dev instance of Foreman to do some testing against the Rest
API. I added a number of records to my Foreman host through the API.
There are no corresponding puppet certificates for these records, as I
didn't build any hosts. The trouble I have now is I can't delete the
records I created, because the Foreman proxy fails to remove the puppet
certificate. I see this in the foreman proxy logs, with logging turned up
to "DEBUG":

#14319] ERROR – : Failed to remove certificate(s) for myhost.example.org:
Execution of puppetca failed, check log files

Is there a way for me to bypass the certificate removal so I can get the
record deleted?

If you want a quick workaround, I would recreate the cert for that host
for the moment, then remove:

puppet cert generate myhost.example.org

That did it, thanks.
