I am trying to install and configure puppet 5.3.2 on two identical Linux machines running Centos 7 (one being a master and the other being an agent). I have managed to install the puppet from the official repository on both and added the following.
Master node in /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 <master hostname> <master node ipaddress> puppet, <master node hostname> <agent node ipaddress> <agent node hostname> Agent node in /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 <agent hostname> <master node ipaddress> puppet, <master node hostname> <agent node ipaddress> <agent node hostname> Master node in /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/puppet.conf
[master] vardir = /opt/puppetlabs/server/data/puppetserver logdir = /var/log/puppetlabs/puppetserver rundir = /var/run/puppetlabs/puppetserver pidfile = /var/run/puppetlabs/puppetserver/puppetserver.pid codedir = /etc/puppetlabs/code dns_alt_names = puppet, <master node hostname> certname = puppet Agent node in/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/puppet.conf
server = puppet, <master node hostname> The puppet server starts successfully. However, I still need to generate and sign the appropriate certificates for both master and agent. For this firstly, I make sure the puppetserver is stopped on the puppet master node, and then on the puppet master node I issue:
sudo /opt/puppetlabs/bin/puppet cert list -a I see a SHA256 certificate.
Now, I do not know how to proceed further. Any inputs would be highly appreciated.
