force agent fqdn

[Michael Wörz]

Hello,

when the clients fqdn changes for example when joining to a NIS or AD Domain puppet agent fails to connect to puppet master.

root-> puppet agent -vt

info: Creating a new SSL key for a4tmwo003.a41.local

warning: peer certificate won't be verified in this SSL session

warning: peer certificate won't be verified in this SSL session

info: Creating a new SSL certificate request for a4tmwo003.a41.local

info: Certificate Request fingerprint (md5): F4:96:B8:BB:C5:CA:82:B0:8D:2E:23:9A:78:64:97:06

warning: peer certificate won't be verified in this SSL session

err: Could not request certificate: Could not intern from s: header too long

Exiting; failed to retrieve certificate and waitforcert is disabled

[a4tmwo003:~]09:56

But i want the identity of the client to stay  the same even when domainname changes.

how can i force the agent to use its hostname when connecting to the master

thanks

Hi Michael,

you can add the certname config option to the agent section.
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/configuration.html#certname

This allows you to set individual names instead of using the fqdn.

hth,

Martin
