Hi there!
I'm trying to use a default host entry as a catch-all for unconfigured
hosts, and I need to be able to read the client's certificate CN to
use it in my monitoring system.
On these hosts I'm doing an unattended install with cobbler, in the
installation step I install puppet and configure it to run with the
option "--fqdn changeme-RANDOM_STRING"
Then I have this entry on my puppetmaster:
# Default
node "default" {
$admindomain = "default"
#$modularit_name = "$hostname"
$modularit_name = "$name"
include modularit
}
I need to setup the modularit_name variable to the
changeme-RANDOM_STRING y used in the command line.
It seems the --fqdn option only changes the name used for the
certificate and host entry lookup, but in the fqdn fact I still see
the clients hostname (uname -n)
In the above default entry, if I use $hostname I get the client
hostname (I don't want to change the client's hostname for this to
work). If I use $name, y get "default".
I know I could write a custom fact to read the certificate CN, but is
there a puppet variable that contains the clients certificate name?
BTW, I also tried $certname, but it doesn't exist.
I'm using version 0.24.8 on the puppetmaster and 0.24.4 (the ubuntu
package) on the client. Will it work with a newer version on the
client?
Salu2!
