Title: Message Title

Jo Rhett created an issue   Puppet / PUP-2248 Provide a better way to connect and retrieve certificate without doing a client run. Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: 3.5.1 RC Assignee: Unassigned Created: 15/Apr/14 1:31 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Jo Rhett At times a person wants to generate and get a signed certificate without actually using the certificate. This is often used when pre-creating puppet hosts, and is also used when creating client certificates for mcollective. At this time the following is the only method I can determine to do this. It would be nice to have an option to not run which doesn't produce an error each time. $ puppet agent --certname jorhett --server puppet.example.net --no-daemonize --no-client --verbose Info: Caching certificate for jorhett Info: Caching certificate for jorhett Notice: Starting Puppet client version 3.5.1-rc1 Error: Could not run: Daemons must have an agent, server, or both Yes, this request is mostly cosmetic but could be considered an option request.
