Pushing LDAP data into Puppet-template

[ytmp123]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to find a way how to push LDAP-Data into a Puppet template. My problem is:
I want to install a DHCP-Server with the help of a puppet-manifest. All the data for this DHCP-Server is stored in a LDAP-Server. So I also want to put the "dhcpd.conf" together out of all the LDAP-Data and then I want to push this "dhcpd.conf"-file onto the fresh-installed DHCP-Server.

How can I put together the dhcpd.conf file? Has anybody an idea?

You would be better off using puppet to manage your ldap-backed dhcp server. That way data changes aren't dependent on when your puppet agent run happens.

Hi,

what do you exactly mean? I only want to know how to extract DHCP-Information out of the LDAP-Server and use them in a Puppet-template.

I don't know how to do it in a most efficient way?
