Issue #2128 has been updated by Jeff McCune.

Nick, Jacob,

On site with a customer using 2.6.7 (not with this change set) I'm seeing this 
error when we've modified the incoming request using a config.ru man in the 
middle hack.

    Error 400 on SERVER: Invalid pattern 
i-9bbfXXXX::netops-puppet-0-4679.int.acme.com

This error seems to be in:

    ➜  puppet git:(2.6.8) ack Invalid.pattern
    lib/puppet/network/authstore.rb
    244:          raise AuthStoreError, "Invalid pattern #{value}"

Is this changes required to auth.conf in order to allow the agent to request a 
resource not matching the certificate name?

Feature #2128: Allow arbitrary fact as node_name identifier
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/2128

Author: Bill Bartlett
Status: Merged - Pending Release
Priority: High
Assignee: Nick Lewis
Category: node
Target version: 2.6.x
Affected Puppet version: 0.24.7
Keywords: 
Branch: 


Currently, the only fact available as a node_name identifier is the hostname.  
I would like to have the capability of having any fact be the node_name 
identifier.

Use Case:

The reason this discussion came about is EC2.  When an EC2 node is brought up, 
the hostname is not known.  If we were to have a large, auto-scaling 
infrastructure, it is currently very difficult (impossible?) to automate 
bringing these EC2 nodes into puppet.  

One possible solution is to allow any fact as a node_name, and then for each 
particular EC2 instance type that one would need scaling (apache, memcache, 
mysql all come to mind among many others), the AMI would be customized with a 
custom fact.  An example could be a fact called "hostclass" that would then be 
set to "ec2_apache", "ec2_memcache", or similar.  This allows the auto-created 
machine, which we would otherwise be unable to differentiate from any other EC2 
node, access to puppet in an automated way.
