Hi *, I would like to create a pool of ssh pubkeys. The major goal is to be able to assign a single key to multiple users on a given node/system.
Okay, lets say we have the users: foo and bar. In my manifest I've created the following test definition for resource "jim": --------------------------------------------------------------------- define sshpubkey::test($user) { ssh_authorized_key { 'jim': ensure => present, user => "$user", name => "jim@unique.email", type => ssh-rsa, key => "[...KEY...]" } --------------------------------------------------------------------- I was able to pass the "$user" variable to the copy of that resource by placing a "sshpubkey:test" definition within the node configuration. The users authorized_keys file is updated accordingly. Now I've just tried to install the pubkey of resource "jim" in the authorized_keys file of user "bar" on node1, placing a second definition: --------------------------------------------------------------------- node node1 { sshpubkey::test { "jim": user => "foo"} sshpubkey::test { "jim": user => "bar"} } --------------------------------------------------------------------- .. but then, of course, puppet throws a "Duplicate definition" error because I've tried to reuse resource "jim" another time: --------------------------------------------------------------------- node:~ # puppetd -o --server puppet.domain.tld --waitforcert 60 --test err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Duplicate definition: Sshpubkey::Test[jim] is already defined in file /etc/puppet/manifests/node.pp at line 3; cannot redefine at /etc/puppet/manifests/node.pp:4 on node puppet.domain.tld warning: Not using cache on failed catalog err: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run --------------------------------------------------------------------- Can somebody tell me how to handle it the puppet way"? Any sort of advice, hints and comments are much appreciated! :) Many thanks Jan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
