I have been tasked to upgrade a Puppet 3.x to Puppet 6.x, this will no no 
mean feat as the current environment covers over 600 nodes.

One of the items that will cause problems is that the old system heavily 
uses the old module Aethylred/keymaster, to manage x509 keypairs from the 
local Puppet CA. This module is know no longer supported and will not work 
without an extensive rewrite with the new Puppet CA architecture. That is a 
path I didn't want to go down.

What I was wondering, and I haven't been able to find a replacement are 
there similar options open to me in using certificates issued from the 
local Puppet CA?
I have written a module for another puppet environment that manages 
certificates from the corporate CA, once they are issued, are then stored 
in hiera. It is looking like, I may have to use that module and manually 
request Puppet CA keypairs, and place them into the appropriate hiera file, 
and allow Puppet and Java_ks manage them from there and apply monitoring on 
the certs to warn of expiry. 

Are there any options for using the Puppet CA to issue/manage keypairs 
programmatically?
