Puppet users - Apr 2013 - Configuring REST API in standalone Puppet

Is there any possibility to use the REST API in a standalone configuration 
of Puppet?
I''m still no expert in Puppet, but in the REST API
guide<http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/rest_api.html>says I only have to
add ''listen = true'' in puppet.conf, or run ''puppet
agent --listen''; however, I have not been able to get anything related
to
Puppet listening on any port (I''ve checked netstat). Is the REST API
only
available on master/agent configurations?
Also, any kind of additional information anyone could provide about the 
REST API would be really appreciated. I don''t know if it''s a
very used
feature, but I didn''t find much information about it around.
Thanks a lot!

Hi,

the docs seem to indicate that there are a few caveats to consider.

http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/rest_api.html#the-agent-rest-api

Do you have both namespaceauth.conf and proper rest_authconfig settings?

HTH,
Felix

Well, of course it was totally my fault. The namespace.conf file was not a 
problem, as I am using puppet 3.1.1 and that seemed to be a bug in puppet 
2.6.x, but auth.conf was actually wrong after playing with several 
configurations. Shame on me, it was pretty clear in the docs.
REST API works now my standalone configuration. Sorry to bother you and 
thanks for your answer, Felix.
