I am trying to come up with a workable solution in managing numerous
Mac workstations allowing a high degree of flexibility with regards to
certs.

My puppet environment is setup to application installation on machines
that have been 'imaged' with a base OS and the puppet and facter apps.
So, when a Mac is 'imaged' and subsequently re-booted, puppet is run
at startup, a cert is created and autosigned (I know that is not
recommended...but...) and queries are performed on our LDAP database
and apps are installed based upon the Mac's membership in various
groups.

My issue is with machines that need to be re-imaged. I am not real
well versed on how certs and CA's function, but the newly imaged
device fails to get a new cert from the CA(puppetmaster) and the CA
complains that it has a cert for the device that does not match the
request.

So, would it be best to use a single cert for all of the clients or is
there a better way to deal with this sort of setup?

Thanks for any replies,

Kurt Engle
