hi,guys

             when you use the puppet manage all you production server. the 
security of the puppet master is very very very very import. 
because if the hacker control the puppet master server.  the can control 
you all servers. and can do anythings he want.

           I think most company use a VPN network connect the puppet agent 
and the puppet master. but , I think it's not enough safe.
if some one's work PC control by a hacker ,the hacker can into the vpn 
network.  or the hacker is some one that not allowed use the puppet master. 
          vpn is safe ,but not enough .

so, the puppet master need 3A. Authentication, Authorization, Accounting. 
 every body push the puppet manifest need 3A.  and use cert to sign the 
code.

the puppet master only allow signed manifest code. 



In my environment, I not use puppet master.  and the puppet agent download 
the signed manifest from a rsync server. verify the manifest and run it. I 
think it's safe than puppet master publish the code.
because I use a networkless pc to sign the code .then copy the code to the 
rsync server.

so , the security risk move to all puppet agent.  not the puppet master or 
rsync server.
