Of course. I use a temporary file to store a private key passphrase.
That passphrase is used to allow the client machine to load the
private key, and clone repositories from github. After puppet has
installed the client machine, I'd like it to delete this temporary file,
so that future logins prompt the user for the password. It's not the
end of the world to leave it there, or for me to clean it up manually.
I know I could use passwordless private keys, but I think it's better
security to have passphrases on them.
You can maybe try some mumbo jumbo magic with stages and combining two
exec's.
Like, first exec gets the key:
exec{'first':
command => 'cd /tmp && wget mykey',
creates => '/tmp/mykey',
}
exec{'second':
command => 'echo "" > /tmp/mykey | tee -a /tmp/mykey2',
creates => '/tmp/mykey2',
}
Put first in stage before main, second in stage after main, and that
could work. Although it's a really really ugly hack, and circumvention
of Declarative Language nature -> to declare states and not to run
scripts...
