Hi! My company has been successfully using puppet 2.6 for a month now, and we are now exploring the possibility of managing users and groups through puppet (vs LDAP). If we were to implement managing users/groups for various services (e.g. 'www' for nginx and apache), what would be the best design for this? Should we:
* Write a module that defines virtual user resources. Other modules would realize them as needed. The "accounts" module would be sourced in by an included statement in our base template class. * A file in manifests/ that defines virtual users. This file is sourced by an include statement in site.pp * Define user resources within the first module that requires them. Realize them in other modules if as the need arises. (define the puppet user in the puppet module. A month later, realize it in the apache::puppetdashboard module when that gets written) Are there other implementation ideas that I'm missing? Are you managing user/groups within puppet? How do you implement them? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
