You can configure [1] the master to use facter rather than the certificate common name for the node name. Note, however, this poses a risk since the fact list is presented by the agent and may be forged. If you configure the master to use facter then you would have to force the "hostname" to actually be the ipaddress by modifying the hostname fact itself. I in no way recommend this configuration and actively discourage it. It should do what you want though. node_name How the puppetmaster determines the client’s identity and sets the ‘hostname’, ‘fqdn’ and ‘domain’ facts for use in the manifest, in particular for determining which ‘node’ statement applies to the client. Possible values are ‘cert’ (use the subject’s CN in the client’s certificate) and ‘facter’ (use the hostname that the client reported in its facts) Default: cert [1] http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/configuration.html#node_name Hope this helps, -- Jeff McCune http://www.puppetlabs.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
