Puppet inventory service using puppetdb

I have 3 servers set up. A puppet master using passenger (puppet-server1), dashboard using passenger (puppet-server2) and puppetdb (puppet-server3).

I cannot get the inventory service working in the dashboard.

The puppet master is able to sign certs and hand out manifests.

The nodes have checked in to the dashboard ok

The puppetdb appears to be working – logs files as follows:

2012-12-13 17:53:10,899 INFO  [command-proc-74] [puppetdb.command] [8490148f-865a-45c8-b5b5-2c8824d753dd] [replace facts] puppet-server3.test.net

The puppet master has the following configured in puppet.conf

[master]

certname = puppet-server1.test.net
storeconfigs = true
storeconfigs_backend = puppetdb
reports = store, http
reporturl = http://puppet-server2.test.net/reports/upload

The puppet master have the following configured in auth.conf

#access for puppet dashboard facts
path /facts
auth yes
method find, search
allow dashboard

The puppet dashboard has this configured in /usr/share/puppet-dashboard/config/settings.yml

# Hostname of the inventory server.
inventory_server: 'puppet-server3.test.net'

# Port for the inventory server.
inventory_port: 8081

The inventory is on as I see a link to the inventory in the dashboard server

But I am getting this error:

Inventory
Could not retrieve facts from inventory service: SSL_connect SYSCALL returned=5 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read finished A

clearly an SSL error – but I have followed the documentation and have no idea how to fix this. Can anyone help please?
