Issue #7783 has been updated by Daniel Pittman.
I think we should build an entirely new Face for interacting with the certificate subsystem, which is a higher level abstraction over the concepts that the user is going to be familiar with. Something more akin to the "legacy" application than the indirection-based faces we currently have. That gives us a chance to build a solid abstraction without the separation that the indirections imply, focused on higher level concerns. Obviously, this will consume the underlying faces we have today, to achieve those results. ---------------------------------------- Bug #7783: Certificate face's generate action should be moved to certificate_request https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7783 Author: Nick Fagerlund Status: Needs Decision Priority: Normal Assignee: Nigel Kersten Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: It suddenly occurs to me that certificate's generate action is a bit of a UI disaster. With puppet cert, the generate action makes a complete signed certificate; with puppet certificate, it submits a certificate signing request. I don't like that name conflict at all, and the latter doesn't even interact with certificates anyway, it interacts with CSRs. I vote we yank it off the certificate face entirely, rename it to "submit," and move it to `certificate_request` where it belongs. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
