Thanks a lot John... I tried and could not find my answer in the docs. my specific question is: - When the master calls my ENC, it knows what the environment of the client is, regardless of where it got it from, right? - All the master passes to the ENC is the clients' cert name, nothing else. My question is whether there is a way for the ENC to find that environment or not? Thanks a lot, Mohamed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group. To post to this group, send email to puppet-users@googlegroups.com.
