Foreman 1.15.0 here.

My Foreman environment is set up to manage Puppet host certificates:

I have a perfectly operational PuppetCA proxy. I can manually 
view/sign/revoke/autosign certificates no problem:

PuppetCA proxy is assigned to organization and location (no screenshots 
here, trust me ;) ).

My hostgroup is set up to use the above PuppetCA smartproxy to manage the 
certificates:

However, I still need to sign CSRs manually. *Looks like the PuppetCA proxy 
autosign POST endpoint does not get triggered during the orchestration 
process.*
This applies to all hosts: manually created-provisioned and 
discovered-autoprovisioned.

WIth the DEBUG sql turned on, I get nothing like 'puppetca' or 'puppet ca' 
when I hit 'build host' or 'auto-provision'.
*However, in the PuppetCA proxy logs I can see some 404s:*
--> when the foreman_url("built") is reached: https://pastebin.com/Y0KgRkje
--> when deleting the host:  https://pastebin.com/ebJzM68c
This makes perfect sense, as the autosign was never there in the first 
place.
Once again, I can do anything I like from Infrastructure->Smart 
Proxies->PuppetCA page (so the ACL/permissions are OK).

I use the discovery image and a custom initrd provisioning. To break the 
custom initrd PXE boot loop, the host curls the foreman_url("built") 
(passed as kernel parameter and called from initrd scripting).

Now the problems I see:
--> according to klaas' words on IRC, reaching the foreman_url("built") 
shall remove hosts fqdn from the autosign.conf file; the host never had a 
chance to run puppet yet (needs to boot from hd); *this probably breaks 
most scenarios that include Foreman Discovery Plugin*
--> anyway, as stated above, I cannot see autosign.conf edited nor the 
PuppetCA proxy POST called when hitting 'build host' or 'auto-provision'
--> probably can work around with Foreman Hooks, but seems like reinventing 
the wheel.


Thoughts on this?
Missing POST looks like a minor code issue. But the Discovery Plugin - 
PuppetCA - foreman_url("built") relation issue goes deeper. Maybe I should 
use other API endpoint?
Please share your view on this. Thank you.
