You can use the same certificate for multiple nodes if you wish, though this configuration carries a higher security risk than unique cert names. You can re-use the same cert name with something like this: # puppet.conf [agent] certname = shared.cert node_name_fact = fqdn -Jeff -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
