# Downcase #

I'm going to take Josh's suggestion and add a hook to downcase the value and 
notify the user if the system does so.  I think this covers all of my concerns.

I'd like to get this in for the RC tomorrow so I'll try and patch it tonight.

Bug #1168: Master-side client certificates convert hostnames to lowercase
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/1168#change-54799

Author: Mike Brittain
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Jeff McCune
Category: unknown
Target version: 2.7.11
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.10
Keywords: certificate, naming
Branch: 


I'm trying to use master-side certificate generation with hosts at Amazon's EC2 
service.  Internal hostnames there use mixed-case names:
<pre>
  domU-12-31-12-34-56-78.compute-1.internal
</pre>
Note the "U" is upper-case.

I build a set of certificates for this client:
<pre>
  puppetca --generate domU-12-31-12-34-56-78.compute-1.internal
</pre>
Resulting files are:
<pre>
  ./private_keys/domu-12-31-12-34-56-78.compute-1.internal.pem
  ./certs/domu-12-31-12-34-56-78.compute-1.internal.pem
  ./ca/signed/domu-12-31-12-34-56-78.compute-1.internal.pem
</pre>
Note all lower-case "u"s in "domu".

When I put these onto the puppet client, they are mis-matched between hostname 
and filenames.  The client (when started) ends up creating new keys with 
mixed-case names next to the versions that were copied from the Puppet master 
server:
<pre>
  -rw------- 1 root root domU-12-31-12-34-56-78.compute-1.internal.pem
  -r-------- 1 root root domu-12-31-12-34-56-78.compute-1.internal.pem
</pre>
It's very possible this is invalid.  I don't know the specs surrounding 
certificate generation.
