Take another example, then.
I've got Glassfish. I want to configure an application domain. As part
of the configuration, I want to configure a JDBC connection.
Not being totally mad, I want to not leave the database password lying
around in plain text, so I use Glassfish's handy feature of "password
aliases". Unfortunately, these need a seed file, a plaintext file that
looks like:
AS_ADMIN_ALIASPASSWORD=my_secret_password
So, I copy that over from my puppet server:
file {
"$glassfish::GF/jdbc_secret_password.txt":
source => ...
}
And then I run asadmin to create the alias:
exec {
"$glassfish::GF/bin/asadmin create-password-alias
--passwordfile $glassfish::GF/jdbc_secret_password.txt
jdbc_secret_password":
alias => "create_jdbc_password_alias",
unless => "$glassfish::GF/bin/asadmin list-password-aliases |
grep -q jdbc_secret_password",
require => [File["$glassfish::GF/jdbc_secret_password.txt"],
Exec["gf_create_instance"]]
}
Unfortunately, this leaves the seed file, required only for the command
to run, lying around on disk. Now, I can protect the file with mode
0400, or I can tidy it with a dependency on the exec command, but what
I really want is something like "refreshonly" for files; only copy the
file over if something is being evaluated that explicitly requires it.
Otherwise, I'll get the file appearing and disappearing again, which is
rather a waste of time.
