This is not right. It looks like a misconfigured gsi-pep-callout.conf
Not sure what exactly you specified, but the hostcert should not be
specified as CAfile. Are you perhaps accidentally using proxy-like
configurations?
There are 3 relevant variables in that config:
    pep_ssl_client_cert
    pep_ssl_client_key
    pep_ssl_server_cert
For proxy certificates, they all 3 need to be set to the proxy file.
For a hostcert/hostkey use the first two and leave out the last.
Not sure if that's the issue, but if the hostcert is set for all three
(e.g. by using it as a proxy file) you're probably missing the key,
hence the error.

Indeed, that makes no sense, see above. If you want the tool with a
hostcert/key, you need to adapt where it writes out the config file (I
perhaps should have made it a bit more flexible, but then, it was only a
Friday afternoon debug script (-; ). I.e. change all the occurances of
PILOT_PROXY for either hostcert.pem, hostkey.pem or nothing.

A "Not Applicable" means that the server did understand the request, and
answered that there was basically nothing matching in its policy, so
neither a "rule permit" nor a "rule deny" matched.

You probably want to have a look in the /var/log/argus/pdp/process.log
and /var/log/argus/pepd/process.log files.

There are two different scenarios, and typically two different entities
for each of those two. In either scenario, one entity contacts the Argus
server to ask about another entity. The latter entity is typically a user.
The contacting entity can be either a service using host credentials, or
a pilot job (typically for use with gLExec) using a pilot proxy.
So for example in case of a pilot job, the pilot sets up the TLS
handshake using its PILOT_PROXY and then asks about the payload user,
identified in the gsi-pep-callout using the X509_USER_PROXY.
Hope this clarifies this? Feel free to ask further.

In this case (which is fine for debugging) you do client-auth on
the TLS with same proxy as you ask to get mapped on the Argus server.
Assuming you actually do have a VOMS proxy (check with
"voms-proxy-info -all" or just "voms-proxy-info -vo"), not a plain
proxy, the Argus server does not recognize or accept the VOMS AC. It
could be that you're missing the .lsc files for the VO in question.
Check in /etc/grid-security/vomsdir/<VO NAME>

Cheers,
Mischa
