Re: [Puppet Users] Re: Hiera vs OpenLDAP

Hi,


Yes it would.  Could als be the quickest solution in the short term.

Are you using ldap as ENC also ?  (because we do).  Then maybe adding 
class parameters to the puppet-ldap code should be the proper way.

What if we'd use Hiera with a LDAP-Backend. Hiera would automatically 
look up the class-variables in LDAP, wouldn't it?

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: Hiera vs OpenLDAP

2013-10-30 Thread Johan De Wit

Are you using ldap as your ENC ?

If so, all settings defined in the puppet ldap schema are available as 
global vars in your manifest.
Unfortunately, class parameters are not supported (at the moment), so 
maybe the ldap part in the puppet code could be extended to support that.


I heard more people looking for that functionality in the ldap ENC code.

You could indeed write your own hiera ldap backend, but I have some 
doubts about the speed.


Here is another example of an ldap backend : 
http://forge.ircam.fr/p/hiera-ldap-backend/


It is one of the things i'm also looking into, but i have to install 
ldap with puppet first, and that needs some more code to write, to 
support the dynamic ldap config in our puppet ldap module.

The example is for Users, doesn'tlook difficult to adapt the search to 
get a list of servers. How you model the classes and class parameters 
in LDAP might be trickier. Maybe your LDAP structure would look 
something like this (which doesn't require much schema):


cn=nodename,ou=nodes,dc=example,dc=com
cn=classname,cn=nodename,ou=nodes,dc=example,dc=com
cn=classparameter1,cn=classname,cn=nodename,ou=nodes,dc=example,dc=com

Hi guys,

I want to use Hiera with a OpenLDAP-Backend. The OpenLDAP-Backend
should contain class parameters. When a agent connects to the
puppet master then hiera should extract from the OpenLDAP-Backend
which roles and which class-parameters the node has. I've found
any useful example in the internet, how to integrate OpenLDAP into
Puppet and howto create and use the data.

Can anyone help me?
