Without reading the link to see if it's similar to what I do, I have a
script I run on the puppet master to pre-generate certificates and
package them as rpm's.  These then go into a repository which the
install is setup to use and the certificate package is installed by
kickstart.

The package, if you're curious is at:

http://tmz.fedorapeople.org/packages/puppet-host-package-0.6.0-1.el5.src.rpm

It's not polished in any way.  It's one of those "works for me,
someday I should finish and improve it" things.

But I prefer this to enabling autosign.
