Run script on puppetmaster

[Craig White]

I can't seem to find this with Google because the search language turns up common usage.

What I am trying to accomplish is to add each new host to specific users LDAP attributes on my LDAP server. Thus when I say sign a certificate or assign some classes to a host in my ENC (Foreman), I would like to execute a script on the Puppet Master that adds the host attribute to specific users. I have such a script but I can't get my head around a way to get a script to execute on the puppet master, only on the puppet client which is clearly not something I want to do.

Is there a way to do this within puppet ? I'm figuring that the puppet master knows the hostname of the system and need that parameter to pass to my shell script.

I've never tried to do that, but generate may do what you need.
