Description of problem: The automatic receipt of a certificate by another server with the same name. Any server with the same hostname and IP address to automatically receive a puppet certificate from puppet master. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Satellite 6. Actual results: We do not have such functionality. Expected results: When a new host is registered with the same hostname as old host which is deleted from the satellite, should get the certificate automatically without having to request it. Additional info: NA
If you wish to rebuild a system, it is expected to - delete the host completely from Satellite and either - reprovision it with Satellite (which creates a new Puppet cert for the host that will be delivered on the first puppet run) OR setup autosigning Reusing puppet certs is bad security practice. (How does Satellite know that the host with the 'right' hostname is 'correct')
