If I can add my coins to the discussion I'd say that installing and running PostgreSQL is really easy (I actually really never used it before and have been "forced" by PuppetDB) and, even if I don't feel myself at ease with it too, I don't think it is going to be a real pain to mantain. But, mo

LDAP is something we've been considering and will probably be implementing that sooner than later. However while that takes care of the 100s of regular web users, we still don't think we want our 8-10 system administrators to be doing that. So we're still have the problem of trying to get pup

This is not something that you generallyl want to do with Puppet since Puppet is better utilized for 'consistency over time' applications (with some exceptions). A tool, such as LDAP or Kerberos will probably serve your purposes much better over time. Trevor On Mon, May 21, 2012 at 3:08 PM, lth

I agree with Gary, Dan, it's probably the lack of data in the 'v_ingroups' key in your YAML that create_resources() is complaining about. If it truly can't pass an empty key/val pair you could do something hacky like use the string "undef" then explicitly check for it in the define. define ad
