Thank you Patrick and Russell for your inputs.

Patrick,

With your solution, do you generate the keys by hand then on the
puppetmaster?  Do you also manually send the generated cert to the
client?  I'm guessing its all actually automated, just trying to
figure out how since I'm fairly new with puppet.  What I'm doing
currently is building a base OS with AutoYast (SLES), then in post
install scripts of autoyast installing puppet and having it 'finish'
the install by running the agent.  So I'm hoping to find a solution
that could integrate with this current build process.

Russell,

I understand your idea.  I'm thinking of giving this a try.

Thanks,
Jake
