Update puppet class from Client
Hi all,

This is more a satellite 6 question

Is it possible to add / assign a puppet client to a class on the master from the client ? This is for automation and I can't get it to work.

On an existing client used as a web server I found the following content in
Code:
cat /var/lib/puppet/state/resources.txt

package[httpd]
service[httpd]
file[/etc/httpd/conf.d/aaa-default.conf]
file[/var/www/html/index.html]
file[/etc/httpd/conf.d/welcome.conf]

cat /var/lib/puppet/classes.txt

httpd
settings
httpd

If I add the same content on the client I'd like to be in the same class and rerun
Code:
puppet agent -t

these files are getting overwritten and no httpd rpm will get installed.

Is there a sollution to this or is it even possible with hammer from the client site ?

I already logged a support call with redhat but didn't get an answer yet ?????

Thanks for any help

PUPPET-CERT(8)							   Puppet manual						    PUPPET-CERT(8)

NAME

       puppet-cert - Manage certificates and requests

SYNOPSIS

       Standalone certificate authority. Capable of generating certificates, but mostly used for signing certificate requests from puppet clients.

USAGE

       puppet cert action [-h|--help] [-V|--version] [-d|--debug] [-v|--verbose] [--digest digest] [host]

DESCRIPTION

       Because	the  puppet  master  service defaults to not signing client certificate requests, this script is available for signing outstanding
       requests. It can be used to list outstanding requests and then either sign them individually or sign all of them.

ACTIONS

       Every action except 'list' and 'generate' requires a hostname to act on, unless the '--all' option is set.

       clean  Revoke a host's certificate (if applicable) and remove all files related to that host from puppet cert's	storage.  This	is  useful
	      when  rebuilding	hosts, since new certificate signing requests will only be honored if puppet cert does not have a copy of a signed
	      certificate for that host. If '--all' is specified then all host certificates, both signed and unsigned, will be removed.

       fingerprint
	      Print the DIGEST (defaults to md5) fingerprint of a host's certificate.

       generate
	      Generate a certificate for a named client. A certificate/keypair will be generated for each client named on the command line.

       list   List outstanding certificate requests. If '--all' is specified, signed certificates are also listed, prefixed by '+', and revoked or
	      invalid certificates are prefixed by '-' (the verification outcome is printed in parenthesis).

       print  Print the full-text version of a host's certificate.

       revoke Revoke  the  certificate	of  a client. The certificate can be specified either by its serial number (given as a decimal number or a
	      hexadecimal number prefixed by '0x') or by its hostname. The certificate is revoked by adding it to the Certificate Revocation  List
	      given by the 'cacrl' configuration option. Note that the puppet master needs to be restarted after revoking certificates.

       sign   Sign an outstanding certificate request.

       verify Verify the named certificate against the local CA certificate.

OPTIONS

       Note  that  any	configuration  parameter  that's valid in the configuration file is also a valid long argument. For example, 'ssldir' is a
       valid configuration parameter, so you can specify '--ssldir directory' as an argument.

       See the configuration file documentation at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/configuration.html for the full list of acceptable
       parameters. A commented list of all configuration options can also be generated by running puppet cert with '--genconfig'.

       --all  Operate on all items. Currently only makes sense with the 'sign', 'clean', 'list', and 'fingerprint' actions.

       --digest
	      Set  the	digest	for fingerprinting (defaults to md5). Valid values depends on your openssl and openssl ruby extension version, but
	      should contain at least md5, sha1, md2, sha256.

       --debug
	      Enable full debugging.

       --help Print this help message

       --verbose
	      Enable verbosity.

       --version
	      Print the puppet version number and exit.

EXAMPLE

       $ puppet cert list
       culain.madstop.com
       $ puppet cert sign culain.madstop.com
