forcing a variable to be lower case?

[Peter Berghold]

I have a situation where there is an uppercase letter in a client's host name. When Puppet creates the certificate for the host the resultant name for the is in all lower case as I'd expect.

The trouble comes in where I am managing the /etc/puppet/puppet.conf file. In my template I have 

            certname = <%= certname %>

and in my class I have certname defined as 

             $certname = downcase("$fqdn")

This is not working.  How should I attack this?

Since templates let you use normal ruby functions, I would do your downcasing in there:

certname = <% certname.downcase %>

Correction:

certname = <%= certname.downcase %>

Thank you!  That got it.  Why it "didn't work" before I'm not sure. On to my next "dumb question."
