knife utility fails - 404 not found

I have chef server (12) installed on a redhat 7.3 server and ran the chef-server-ctl user-create USERNAME FIRST_NAME LAST_NAME EMAIL PASSWORD and chef-server org-create commands, which also generated the required pem files.

I then installed the chefdk (output of chef --version below) chef --version Chef Development Kit Version: 2.4.17 chef-client version: 13.6.4 delivery version: master (73ebb72a6c42b3d2ff5370c476be800fee7e5427) berks version: 6.3.1 kitchen version: 1.19.2 inspec version: 1.45.13

Went on to create an app using chef generate app chef-repo This created the chef-repo folder and the sub-folders in it. I then went ahead and created the .chef folder and created a knife.rb file under the .chef folder Here are the contents of the knife.rb file:

cat .chef/knife.rb

current_dir = File.dirname(__FILE__)
log_level                :debug
log_location             STDOUT
node_name                "daddepalli"
client_key               "#{current_dir}/daddepalli.pem"
validation_client_name   "XXX"
validation_key           "#{current_dir}/XXX.pem"
chef_server_url          "https://rhel73-chef-srv12.XXX.com/organizations/RMT"
syntax_check_cache_path  "#{ENV['HOME']}/.chef/syntaxcache"
cookbook_path            ["#{current_dir}/../cookbooks"]

knife ssl check checks out successfully

knife ssl check Connecting to host rhel73-chef-srv12.RMT.com:443 Successfully verified certificates from `rhel73-chef-srv12.RMT.com'

but when I run knife client list, I get the following error:

ok I found the issue. the issue was in the knife.rb file. the organization I created was rmt while I had RMT in the chef_server_url attribute. Once I fixed that, it showed my client list.
