Silently fails when identity.key has zero size

[sjmurdoch]

In InstanceIdentity, when identity.key has zero size it seems that, (KeyPair)new PEMReader(in,null,provider).readObject() returns null. This case is not checked, and therefore the keys member variable is set to null. This causes a failure in getPublic() which manifests itself in the following stack trace.

Any follow up? I'm getting the exact same error suddenly. Can't figure out what I changed in my config, but now this build step is failing... :(

[mconigliaro]

Same problem here. Seems like it's preventing the SCM Sync plugin from working.

I faced this error too when try to use Jenkins CLI. The error was reported in jenkins log file.
Here how I resolved it.
First, details about Instance Identity can be found here : https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Instance+Identity
So my jenkins server was not returning any X-Instance-Identity information when requested ( wget --save-headers http_myjenkins_server | grep Ident).
So to resolve my issue I used resolution recommended here ; https://support.cloudbees.com/hc/en-us/articles/215578778-How-to-fix-an-instance-having-an-invalid-identity-key-enc-file.
