I am trying to add a property to the User type in order to be able to
turn off the screen saver of the managed users. Everything I have found
on custom types has been around creating an entirely new type rather
than extending an existing one -- except for one sentence on the Custom
Types page; 'You can optionally specify a parent class; otherwise,
Puppet::Type is used as the parent class.'
With that in mind, in theory, something like this should work
Puppet::Type.newtype(:extended_windows_user, {:parent =>
Puppet::Type::User}) do
newproperty(:screensaver_enabled) do
desc "boilerplate"
end
end
but when I run the agent the manifest cannot be compiled saying
Invalid parameter managehome at ...
which I would have expected it to find since it is in the :parent. And
does work if I use 'user' rather than 'extended_windows_user' in my
manifest.
Is there some missing bit of inheritance magic I am missing? I've been
staring at this now for long enough that even if the solution was right
in front of me I would mess it.
Thanks.
