The puppetca agent lets you sign, list, revoke, clean and determine the status of certificates on your Puppet Certificate Authorities
- Follow the basic plugin install guide
There is one plugin configuration setting for the puppetca agent
- puppetca - The command used to control the ca. Defaults to '/usr/bin/puppet cert'
Example Configuration:
plugin.puppetca.puppetca = /bin/puppet cert
% mco rpc puppetca list
Discovering hosts using the mc method for 2 second(s) .... 1

puppetca.example.com

The Puppetca agent also supplies a data plugin which uses the Puppetca agent to check the current status of a certificate. The data plugin will return 'signed', 'waiting' and 'missing', and can be used during discovery or any other place where the MCollective discovery langauge is used.
In this example we lookup all nodes that have a cert "host2.example.com" in a waiting state.
% mco find -S "puppetca('host2.example.com').status=waiting"
puppetca.example.com
