Hi, I am using the cloud provisioner to bootstrap some ec2 nodes, and these clients are signed using a randomly generated certname, which is put in /etc/puppet.conf at the bootstrap time (eg certname = d7bcd693-73fd-495f-0876-ff91ea11111e).
But my puppet code repo also manages the puppet.conf file, so the file will be overwritten on the client at the first puppet run. Nevertheless, i should not lose what was the original certname for this client, because i need to insert it in the puppet.conf.erb that will be pushed to this client, otherwise the puppetmaster will not recognize and allow this client anymore. I ran "facter" on the client, and the certname does not appear. I ran "puppet --genconfig |grep certname" and the certname does not appear either. I can not check the cert name in /var/lib/puppet/ssl/certs because the cert will appear after first puppet run. Is there a way to to know what certname is using a puppet client, and be able to use it in erb templates, or am using puppet and the cloud provisioner in a wrong way ?
