Sateesh,
I think Nan's response isn't fully answering your question since it isn't clear
how you are executing Chef. Reading your question I foresee that you are
actually in fact running Chef Solo, knife is configured with an ssh key that is
capable to logging into a specific machine, uploading a cookbook, and executing
it? Your trying to implement the same workflow using Puppet's stand alone
mode? If this assumption is correct than we can point you in a better
direction. Nan's response would be relevant if you were using Chef Server vs.
Puppet Master.
