---------------------------------------- Feature #10167: Add Puppet certname retrieval to Facter https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/10167 Author: Alexandre Fouche Status: Closed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Keywords: facter certname cloud provisioner Branch: Affected Facter version: 1.6.2 # Context I am using the cloud provisioner to bootstrap some ec2 nodes, and these clients are signed using a randomly generated certname, which is put in /etc/puppet.conf at the bootstrap time (eg certname = d7bcd693-73fd-495f-0876-ff91ea11111e). But my puppet code repo also manages the puppet.conf file, so the file will be overwritten on the client at the first puppet run. Nevertheless, i should not lose what was the original certname for this client, because i need to insert it in the puppet.conf.erb that will be pushed to this client, otherwise the puppetmaster will not recognize and allow this client anymore. i also queried the mailing list at [http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/browse_thread/thread/81bf8df1f8ad723f](http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/browse_thread/thread/81bf8df1f8ad723f) # Feature request Can Facter return the certname used by the puppet client, so that it can be used in erb templates ? -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
