Puppet users - Sep 2013 - Scoping issue?

Hi,

Yet another newbie question .. I''d appreciate any good references, too!

I''m creating a class for managing users, and defining
"my_user" as a
convenience function that I''ve seen in many patterns. I''d like
it to manage
passwords if one is supplied to the function.

class users::virtual {
  define ssh_user($passwd, $key) {
    user { $name:
      ensure => present,
      managehome => true,
      if $passwd != '''' {
         password = $passwd
      }
    }

  # more code here
}


I get an syntax error on the "if" statement when I run the agent:
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER:
Syntax error at ''passwd''; expected ''}'' at
<FILE>.pp:17 on node <FQDN>

Thinking it was a scoping error I''ve tried various combinations to
qualify the "passwd" parameter but nothing seems to have helped.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Mark

Hi,

I believe it could be this way:

define ssh_user($passwd, $key) {
    user { $name:
      ensure => present,
      managehome => true,
      password = $passwd ? {
          /\w+/ => $passwd,
         default => undef,
      }
 }

I think you should also double check the class with a define inside.
