Puppet – Authorize Puppet client by signing certificate request

1. On the Puppet agent, generate and send a cert request to Puppet master.

  • puppet agent --waitforcert 30 --server [puppet master host] -v

 

2. After the above command, you could find the generated files @/home/[username]/.puppet/ssl OR @/var/lib/puppet/ssl if you are root user.
 

3. On the Puppet master, you can list the outstanding cert requests by:

  • puppet cert --list

 

4. Or you can list all cert requests including those already signed:

  • puppet cert --list --all

 

5. Signed the cert on the Puppet master by:

  • puppet cert sign [cert name]

 

6. List the cert again and that should be signed now.
 

Done =)
