Concatenating files from server into a single file on the client

[Sebastian Rettenberger]

Hi,

I am new to Puppet and I try to manage authorized_keys file on my servers with Puppet.
Up until now, we have cronjob that combines all the files in one directory and stores them in .ssh/authorized_keys on the servers.

Is something like this possible with Puppet as well? I have only found solutions for a fixed list of files. However, I would really like to keep this dynamic since the files change comparatively often.
In addition, the file on the client should only be updated if a ssh keys was added or deleted (but this is optional).

Thanks for any help,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

The sshauthorizedkey type will do what you need.
