Started the discussion in puppet users mailing list based on recommendation from luke. This discussion is to a follow up regarding bug#1955 "Could not find server puppet" - installation/configuration error". jamtur01''s last recommendation: Rather than renaming things try the certname option (see http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/ConfigurationReference). But

I want to manage my puppet.conf files on every node, via a puppet module on the puppetmaster. However, in puppet.conf on each of my nodes, I also *must* specify the certname attribute. (This is because my company''s NIS domain doesn''t match it''s DNS domain and the fqdn comes out erroneous unless I enforce the DNS name with the certname attribute.) Does anyone know how

Hi there, We have a fake environment in which we test software and config before rolling it out to prod. Here, we have a fake puppetmasterd running, serving the new config under test. But we''re having trouble with certificates. It is possible to specify via config what fqdn the puppet ca should use for itself? We need this to be a different (faked) fqdn than the real name of the

Hello, Let''s consider the scenario when a client node in a puppet environment gets compromised. In case some of the puppet modules make decisions based on agent facts, these modules are potentially exposed to abuse from the malicious puppet agent. For example, if a class has: if $some_fact == ''some value'' { # deploy some configuration } then the compromised node

Hi, I''m having a problem with extlookup not respecting the ''certname'' parameter[1].  When executing a puppet run with either the --certname or --fqdn parameters, it ends up using the specified SSL certificate and gets the correct node definition applied from the puppetmaster.  However, it still retrieves extlookup data using the node''s actual FQDN, not the one

1. I get the following error when I run “puppet device’ err: Could not request certificate: Could not write /var/opt/lib/pe-puppet/devices/certname/ssl/private_keys/certname.pem to privatekeydir: Permission denied - /var/opt/lib/pe-puppet/devices/certname/ssl/private_keys/certname.pem Any thought?

Hi Everyone, I am using Puppet 2.6.5 to configure fresh VMs. These VMs have their hostname set to localhost.localdomain initially at boot-time. There is this script file that runs in rc.local and this is what I do inside it 1. I change the hostname from localhost to xxx.xxxxxx using the hostname command. 2. start the puppet agent as /usr/sbin/puppetd --certname=xxx.xxxxxx

I''m having a heck of a time trying to fix #1178, which is a problem related to inconsistent node names, and it all stems from the ''node_name'' setting. In the default setup, your certificate gets created with your host''s fully qualified node name, and Puppet uses the value from the certificate for everything. In addition, there''s a setting,

Hi All. I am using: #rpm -qa | egrep ''puppet|facter'' puppetlabs-release-6-7.noarch puppet-3.1.1-1.el6.noarch facter-1.7.1-1.el6.x86_64 on: #cat /etc/redhat-release ; uname -r CentOS release 6.4 (Final) 2.6.32-358.11.1.el6.centos.plus.x86_64 My hostname is server.one.two.com: # hostname server.one.two.com # hostname --fqdn one.two.com #grep HOSTNAME /etc/sysconfig/network

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

I am trying to use puppet to configure Amazon EC2 instances. The server is my own box at home. Both server and clients are Ubuntu 8.04 running puppet 0.24.5. On the client when I run: puppetd --server myserver.com --waitforcert 60 --test I get a cert to sign on the server. I sign it and run the command above again on the client. But then I get 3 errors similar to this: warning: Certificate

Hello... I wanted to be able to startup an EC2 instance with one command and have a fully functioning server without having to shell into each new instance and configure the bits to allow puppet to finish the configuration. Here are some notes I came up with for bootstrapping an ec2 instance with puppet using Ubuntu 10.04. I left out a lot of things about creating and running custom AIM

This is an issue I've researched quite a bit on bug lists, and looked in the Syslinux Wiki for a way to do this, but haven't yet found a solution. 1) I have an existing Fedora 13 LiveCD which I burned to a CD and tested on a system without issue. 2) I then took that same ISO and dropped it in my pxelinux.cfg/default for being able to boot over the network. I made sure to extract the

Hello all, Recently I was asked to start using Puppet as part of our Eucalyptus powered internal cloud. I have been able to set up Puppet and a puppet master on various instances, but what I am running into, is that several of the instances have the same hostname or no hostname when they are first launched, so of course when they try to get a cert from puppetmaster I get an error saying that I

Hi List, I''m using puppet 0.23.2 (tarball) on Debian sarge as server and the same version on an etch client. When I try to use the following class : class base { $puppet = "security01.mydomain.com" # bashrc file for global shell settings. file depends on used OS version (etch, sarge etc). file { "/etc/bash.bashrc": ensure =>

Hi, I am using the cloud provisioner to bootstrap some ec2 nodes, and these clients are signed using a randomly generated certname, which is put in /etc/puppet.conf at the bootstrap time (eg certname = d7bcd693-73fd-495f-0876-ff91ea11111e). But my puppet code repo also manages the puppet.conf file, so the file will be overwritten on the client at the first puppet run. Nevertheless, i should not

All- Poking around in the bug database it looks like storeconfigs is being actively worked on. I am using 2.7.6 on my master as well as all the clients. I have clients boot , start puppet and get a signed cert via auto signing. The nagios module (and currently the only thing puppet does) complains a lot during compile time about not having storeconfigs enabled, which is not the case in my

I''d like to extend my use of puppet to manage my desktop/notebook macs. As others have noted, the hostname of the mobile machines tends to change frequently, so basing the node name (in my site.pp) and the corresponding cert and private key names seems to be an issue. I seem to recall somewhat talking about this at Puppet Camp last week….. Generally my signing strategy is always to
