So to be clear, the catalog compiles, but as soon as you go to apply it, you 
can't, because you're referring to users who don't exist yet, even though 
you've set all these resources to require a class that will set up LDAP?

Bug #4867: Puppet raises error when trying to set owner to non-existant user
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4867

Author: Brian Gallew
Status: Investigating
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Nigel Kersten
Category: agent
Target version: 2.6.x
Affected Puppet version: 2.6.1
Keywords: 
Branch: http://github.com/MarkusQ/puppet/tree/ticket/2.6.x/4867


When I ran 0.25.5, I relied on the puppet client to create the puppet user.  
Since I've upgraded to 2.6.1, the puppet user must already exist before the 
puppet client will run, otherwise the puppet client bails with an error:
err: Could not run Puppet configuration client: Could not find user puppet

This seems to be a fairly major regression.
