Issue #7407 has been updated by Nigel Kersten. Status changed from Needs Decision to Accepted Assignee deleted (Nigel Kersten) Target version set to Telly
Sounds like we should be exposing a 'client' hash of some kind. `$client['address']` etc? ---------------------------------------- Feature #7407: Puppet master should provide variables for secure node identification https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7407 Author: Stig Sandbeck Mathisen Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: usability Target version: Telly Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: The puppet master should provide a set of variables, with a common prefix, to securely identify the connecting node, to be used in manifests and templates. I would like to see: - the certificate name of the connecting node (cn, commonname) - the IP address of the connecting node (which will not necessarily be unique) - the timestamp, made by the master, when the node connected ## name ## As of now, variables like $certname and $fqdn seem to be provided by the node. I would like to not have to trust too much of what the node is sending to the master. ## time ## Primarily used for auditing purposes. If a node has incorrect time set (for instance, far into the future), this will propagate as far as the dashboard. I would like to have the time of the connection, set by the master. ## address ## Primarily used for auditing purposes. Alternative example: When a laptop node is "not on the local network", configure only important, low-bandwidth or non-sensitive things. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
