I was doing this all wrong as Peter pointed out. I had to make sure of the following:
1 - auth.conf any auth config for facts and inventory on the puppet master had to go above this entry # this one is not stricly necessary, but it has the merit # of showing the default policy, which is deny everything else path / auth any 2 - the puppet inventory server was the puppet-master not the puppetdb 3 - the inventory port on the puppet master was 8140 Got it working with this config Cheers, Oli On Friday, December 14, 2012 4:44:28 PM UTC, vioilly wrote: > > Hi, > > I have tried this config.
