I'm using the Nova version of Cfengine, but perhaps it's the same in the 
community version.  When I want to add a client, I would bootstrap it to 
the policy server:

cf-agent -B -s <IPaddr of Policy Server>

And they do a key exchange to enable a trust relationship.

I believe it works the same way - go to Section 2.6 of the same 
document: Getting started with the Community Edition.
