Are you using extlookup function to retrieve the CSV configuration data?

You will need to write either a custom function that performs data
lookup. Something along the line of:
# connect to postgres
# sql query using lookup criteria (typically certname)
# return data hash

Or you can write a custom external node classifier (ENC):
