Hi,
I'm trying to figure out what is the best way to handle a single system
that dual boots with a puppet client running in each. In this case we are
talking about Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 8. Should I just copy the
certificate from one OS to the other? Should I have a different
certificate for each OS? In this case can they have the same hostname, as
it is the same IP address for both OSes? Can I somehow use a different
hostname for each that doesn't match DNS? I understand from a client point
of view it probably doesn't matter a whole lot, but I am also using Foreman
(and I imagine Puppet Dashboard would have a similar issue) and I'd like to
be able to check on the facts and status of both Ubuntu and Windows at any
given time, not just the OS that happens to be running at the moment.
Puppet nodes are usually not identified based on hostname, but rather based
on certificate name (which is usually the same as hostname). You most
likely do not want to just copy the certificate over. I just run the
initial puppet runs with --certname $hostname-$os.$domain to have separate
certificates for each installation. Also my puppet.conf template has
certname = %= @clientcert % , so that whatever is specified on the
command line on the first run sticks.
Cheers,
Paul
