I use the following plugin :
module Puppet::Parser::Functions
newfunction(:getPassword, :type => :rvalue) do |args|
clientHostname = args[0]
type = args[1]
len = args[2]
filename = "/var/lib/puppet/passwords/" + clientHostname + "-" +
type + ".pass"
def newpass( len )
chars = ("A".."Z").to_a + ("a".."z").to_a + ("0".."9").to_a
newpass = Array.new(len) { chars[rand(chars.size)] }.join
return newpass
end
thePass = ""
if File.exist? filename
theFile = File.new(filename, "r")
theFile.each_line {|line| thePass = line }
theFile.close
else
thePass = newpass ( len.to_i )
theFile = File.new(filename, "w+")
theFile.print thePass
theFile.chmod(0600)
theFile.close
end
return thePass
end
end
It store the password on the puppetmaster and you can have it as a
variable with :
$adminPassword = getPassword($hostname, "myapppass", "12")
