Issue #7244 has been updated by Matt Wise.
Certname defaults to the hostname, so I say there is a relationship -- even if its arbitrary. There is nothing that prevents us from using the token-ID as the certname -- its just that in our case its a little strange. The token ID is a temporary thing that is destroyed once its used (or expires), so having it permanently embedded in the SSL certname just feels weird, thats all. In our case, the tokens are pushed automatically through our provisioning system. Its a bit hard to describe that in detail here, but its fair to say that the host boots up and knows that it has "xyz" as a token, and that it can use that token for some period of time to get its puppet cert signed. ---------------------------------------- Feature #7244: Autosign should allow for an external approver https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7244 Author: Matt Wise Status: Needs More Information Priority: Normal Assignee: Nigel Kersten Category: Target version: 2.7.x 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.
