In the case of LDAP, how would this work? Would you store your entire
puppet config in LDAP or just the user information? I am looking
documentation for storing all puppet info in LDAP, and that is a bit
unwieldy, since all configuration is stored as key-value pairs. Its
almost another language on top of puppet.

Thanks, will also look into functions and templates.
