Issue #7244 has been updated by Matt Wise.
I'm thinking in this case that it's any blob of text, determined by the user -- that's even optional. The user might write a server-side script that just checks the ip against the hostname and returns 0... or in our case it reads the $ARG and checks it against an internal token system we built to authenticate new systems on bootup. It's up to the implementer how to use it.. ---------------------------------------- Feature #7244: Autosign should allow for an external approver https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7244 Author: Matt Wise Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Statler Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: Puppet should allow for the autosign code to point to an external script, instead of the autosign.conf file itself for approval in signing a end-clients cert. This method should allow the client to supply a unique bit of "auth" data that is passed to the exec script on the master, and validated. If return 0, sign the code. If not, do not sign. In this way, I can pass an arbitrary "token" (say its 12345) through the puppet agent to the puppet ca master. The puppet ca master can then run "myauthscript.sh -arg 12345". if that script returns 0, puppet c an then sign the certificate. If not, puppet fails to sign the certificate. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
