[Puppet Users] certname doesn''t seem to work on the agent

Hi guys,

I have a box that needs to identify itself to the puppetmaster as something 
different from the FQDN. I added certname to the agent configuration before 
the first run, but it doesn''t seem to be sufficient. The certificate
was
generated for the FQDN, and the host appears in the dashboard as the FQDN, 
and the node name used to evaluate the manifest is also the FQDN. I would 
like to set it up so that, for all intents and purposes, the node/agent has 
a different name.

I''m running Puppet 2.7.6 via Apache/Passenger.

Here is my agent config:

[agent]

    # Whether log files should always flush to disk.
    autoflush = true

    # Reporting setup for Puppet Dashboard
    report = true

    # Randomize agent runs to avoid clusters
    splay = true

    # The main Puppet configuration directory.  The default for this 
parameter is calculated based on the user.  If the process
    # is running as root or the user that Puppet is supposed to run as, it 
defaults to a system directory, but if it''s running as any other user,
    # it defaults to being in the user''s home directory.
    # The default value is ''/etc/puppet''.
    confdir = <confdir>

    # Where Puppet stores dynamic and growing data.  The default for this 
parameter is calculated specially, like `confdir`_.
    # The default value is ''/var/lib/puppet''.
    vardir = <vardir>

    # Whether to print stack traces on some errors
    trace = true

    # How often puppet agent applies the client configuration; in seconds. 
Note that a runinterval of 0 means run continuously rather than never run.
    # If you want puppet agent to never run, you should start it with the 
--no-client option.
    runinterval = 300

    # Whether to use colors when logging to the console.
    # Valid values are `ansi` (equivalent to `true`), `html` (mostly
    # used during testing with TextMate), and `false`, which produces
    # no color.
    # The default value is ''ansi''.
    color = ansi

    # The environment Puppet is running in.  For clients
    # (e.g., `puppet agent`) this determines the environment itself, which
    # is used to find modules and much more.  For servers (i.e., `puppet 
master`) this provides the default environment for nodes
    # we know nothing about.
    # The default value is ''production''.
    environment = pre

    # Where to find information about nodes.
    # The default value is ''plain''.
    # node_terminus = plain

    # Where the puppet agent web server logs.
    # The default value is ''$logdir/http.log''.
    httplog = <logpath>/http.log

    # Send the process into the background.  This is the default.
    # The default value is ''true''.
    daemonize = true

    # The name to use when handling certificates.  Defaults
    # to the fully qualified domain name.
    certname = <dns-name-here>

    # Where Puppet should look for facts.  Multiple directories should
    # be colon-separated, like normal PATH variables.
    # The default value is ''$vardir/lib/facter:$vardir/facts''.
    factpath = $vardir/lib/facter:$vardir/facts   

    # From where to retrieve facts.  The standard Puppet `file` type
    # is used for retrieval, so anything that is a valid file source can
    # be used here.
    # The default value is ''puppet://$server/facts/''.
    factsource = puppet://<puppetmaster>/facts/

    # The pid file
    # The default value is ''$rundir/$name.pid''.
    pidfile = <vardir>/agent.pid

    # The user puppet master should run as.
    # The default value is ''puppet''.
    user = apache

    # The group puppet master should run as.
    # The default value is ''puppet''.
    group = apache

    # Wether the master should function as a certificate authority.
    # The default value is ''true''.
    ca = true

    # The search path for modules as a list of directories separated by the 
'':'' character.
    # The default value is
''$confdir/modules:/usr/share/puppet/modules''.
    modulepath = <datadir>/modules

    # The explicit value used for the node name for all requests the agent
    # makes to the master. WARNING: This setting is mutually exclusive with
    # node_name_fact.  Changing this setting also requires changes to the 
default
    # auth.conf configuration on the Puppet Master.  Please see
    # http://links.puppetlabs.com/node_name_value for more information.
    # The default value is ''$certname''.
    # node_name_value = 

    # The server to which server puppet agent should connect
    # The default value is ''puppet''.
    server = <puppetmaster>

    # Which port puppet agent listens on.
    # The default value is ''8139''.
    puppetport = 8139

    # Document all resources
    # document_all = false

What am I missing?

Re: [Puppet Users] certname doesn''t seem to work on the agent

Hi,

Your config looks about right.
Did you drop the current cert and request and sign a new one?

Re: [Puppet Users] certname doesn''t seem to work on the agent

There was no current cert. It was a new host. The cert was generated using 
the FQDN..

Re: [Puppet Users] certname doesn''t seem to work on the agent

I just did another test on another new agent. Same behaviour. The value of 
certname does not feature in the log at all. Here is the debug level agent 
log. I''ve replaced the actual FQDN with <FQDN>. There''s
no reference to the
value set in certname. Seems that it''s completely ignored.

Re: [Puppet Users] certname doesn''t seem to work on the agent

You will need to generate the certificate with the name you want to
use other wise it will use the fqdn.
Try using --certname=name_you_want on the command line when you
request the certificate.
