Jira (PUP-2995) Proposal for custom trusted oid mapping file

[Remi Ferrand (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Remi Ferrand created an issue   Puppet / PUP-2995 Proposal for custom trusted oid mapping file Issue Type: Improvement Assignee: Andy Parker Components: Server Created: 31/Jul/14 12:56 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Remi Ferrand Hi, I've been using trusted facts and custom OIDs and I realized that for non puppet-administrators (i.e puppet users) it could be quite confusing to deal with something like bare_trusted_oid if $trusted[extensions][1.3.6.1.4.1.34380.1.2.1.1] == 'some_value' { ... } My proposal is to introduce an external file that could allow puppet administrators to provide a user-friendly mapping like you did for your custom OIDs. For instance a mapping file such as example_trusted_oid_mapping_file.yaml # /etc/puppet/trusted_oid_mapping.yaml --- oid_mapping: - ['1.3.6.1.4.1.34380.1.2.1.1', 'shortname', 'Long name'] - ['1.3.6.1.4.1.34380.1.2.1.2', 'othershortname', 'Other Long name'] could be used to convert previous test example in something like: resolved_trusted_oid if $trusted[extensions][shortname] == 'some_value' { ... } which is quite more explicit and user-friendly. I've created a PR for this proposal here :: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/2919.
