Dear all,

  I'm trying to do mass update ssh-accounts by ENC Puppet DSL. I found
great reference in http://jpmens.net/2011/07/25/external-node-classification-and-data-in...
from Jan-Piet , if anyone had test it may be could help me in a couple
issues.

1)  I got "Duplicate definition" error while calling define resource
one{ $user_array: } to workaround I change defined resource like
define one_user($arr) , so to call it one_user{ 'tit': arr => $res } .
Jan-Piet said 'to call my one_user() "function" once for each array
element' , It's essencial for the mass load but How to do it ?.

2) Testing are tell me that input parameter class for
inline_template() has not hash structure instead it is array. Putting
function split in a head of class having unique sense to check for
structure is tell me that parameter is an array not expected string
variable.  Why ?

 My test , I inserted some comments ## upercase  :

class updssh( $users ) {

   $users_array = split($users, '[ ;]')  ## NO SENSE , ONLY FOR CHECK
$users VARIABLE STRUCTURE

   notify{'MSG1': message => "$users" }

        $res = inline_template(     ## RETURN ARRAY
          "<% users.each_with_index do |usr, i| -%>
            <% usr.each do |k,v| -%>
               <%= k %>:<%= usr[k]['email'] %>:<%= v['type'] %>:<%=
v['key'] %>
           <% end -%>
            ;
         <% end -%>")

    # Now create an array from that result
    $users_array = split($res, '[ ;]')  ## $res IS AN ARRAY NOT AN
STRING VARIABLE  !!!

  #one_user{ $users_array: }   ## HOW TO DO IT ??

        one_user{ 'tit':   ## WORKAROUNT AVOIDING "Duplicate
definition" error
              arr => $res          ### SAME RETURN FROM INLINE,
               }

    define one_user($arr) {
       ##  $u = split($title, '[:]')
         $u = split($arr, '[:]')

        $username = $u[0]
        $email = $u[1]
        $type = $u[2]

        $dd = $u[6]

       $msg = sprintf('user=%s, email=%s, type=%s , dd=%s', $username,
$email, $type, $dd)

        notify{'MSG': message => "$msg" }

    }

The ENC data are :

  ---
parameters: {}

classes:
  updssh:
    users:
    - ppuser7:
        type: ssh-rsa
        user_auth: JOJOXX
        user_ssh: ppuser7
        key: XXLLAVEXX_DE_PRUEBA_UPD_SSH_PARA_PPUSER7
        email: ppus...@speedy.com
    - ppuser8:
        type: ssh-rsa
        user_ssh: ppuser8
        key: LLAVEXX_DE_PRUEBA_UPD_SSH_PARA_PPUSER8
        email: ppus...@speedy.com

  Any suggestion ?.
   Thanks in advanced,
   eduardo.

 Hi, first of all thanks to Jan-Piet for share it.
 My mistake was around shape an inline_template parameter, everything
is ok just deleting linefeeds and spaces characters in it, like this :

     -----
        $res = inline_template(
          "<% users.each do |usr| -%><% usr.each do |k,v| -%><%= k %>:<
%= usr[k]['email'] %>:<%= v['type'] %>:<%= v['key'] %>;<% end -%><%
end -%>")

    # Now create an array from that result
    $users_array = split($res, '[;]')

   one_user{ $users_array: }

     define one_user() {
        $u = split($title, '[:]')
     -----

 This way the inline_template parameter is not readable but it's the
way to do it.

 Regards,
  eduardo.
