Are you using ldap as your ENC ?

If so, all settings defined in the puppet ldap schema are available as global vars in your manifest. Unfortunately, class parameters are not supported (at the moment), so maybe the ldap part in the puppet code could be extended to support that.

I heard more people looking for that functionality in the ldap ENC code.

You could indeed write your own hiera ldap backend, but I have some doubts about the speed.

Here is another example of an ldap backend : http://forge.ircam.fr/p/hiera-ldap-backend/

It is one of the things i'm also looking into, but i have to install ldap with puppet first, and that needs some more code to write, to support the dynamic ldap config in our puppet ldap module.

This one perhaps?

The example is for Users, doesn'tlook difficult to adapt the search to get a list of servers. How you model the classes and class parameters in LDAP might be trickier. Maybe your LDAP structure would look something like this (which doesn't require much schema):

cn=nodename,ou=nodes,dc=example,dc=com
cn=classname,cn=nodename,ou=nodes,dc=example,dc=com
cn=classparameter1,cn=classname,cn=nodename,ou=nodes,dc=example,dc=com
value=woof

    Hi guys,

    I want to use Hiera with a OpenLDAP-Backend. The OpenLDAP-Backend
    should contain class parameters. When a agent connects to the
    puppet master then hiera should extract from the OpenLDAP-Backend
    which roles and which class-parameters the node has. I've found
    any useful example in the internet, how to integrate OpenLDAP into
    Puppet and howto create and use the data.

    Can anyone help me?
