Issue #10169 has been reported by Nigel Kersten. ---------------------------------------- Feature #10169: ca_name default value is misleading and can cause problems. https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/10169
Author: Nigel Kersten Status: Needs More Information Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: SSL Target version: Telly Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: The default value for the $ca_name configuration setting is somewhat misleading: `Puppet CA: $fqdn` This makes it look like the hostname is an important attribute when it isn't. This also means that the name doesn't change when you start up an entire new CA on the same host, which can cause problems for clients who have the previous CA cached. I suggest we incorporate a timestamp and clean up the string so it's more accurate, like: `Puppet CA: Generated on $fqdn at $timestamp` like: `Puppet CA: Generated on puppet.mydomain.coma at 2011-10-19` I don't believe we need the timestamp to be finer grained than one day, but feedback welcome. "Generated" may not be the most appropriate word here. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
