Yushu, This should work... 1. Create the cert with an arbitrary name (puppetca --generate foo.somethingrandom.bar) 2. You will need some process to sign the cert and copy the private keys to the client vm because they don't exist at cert creation time. Copying private keys about is generally fro

Re: [Puppet Users] IP based node sections instead of hostname based?

Just to add: The reason I wanted to do this: 1. I want to create the certificates before the VMs are created. The VMs will need to run puppet client 2. However, before a VM is created, I don't know the IP nor the FQDN of the VM. That's why I'm thinking of using an arbitrary name. 3. I want to use
