Description

The module provides capabilities to use [https://puppet.com/docs/pe/2017.3/rbac_api_v1_directory.html#put-ds] (https://puppet.com/docs/pe/2017.3/rbac_api_v1_directory.html#put-ds) to get, set and test the directory services with a Puppet Task or by directly using the scripts provided as tasks during bootstrap and install of the Puppet Enterprise server.

Setup

What puppet_ds affects OPTIONAL

Setup Requirements OPTIONAL

You will need a active and reachable Directory Service, the documentation and test data uses a publicly WWW hosted DS service.

You will need to install Bolt as part of your bootstrap stage or provide matching environment variables and execute the shell scripts directly.

Beginning with puppet_ds

Review the data scheme of the DS json Puppet requires.

Usage

Currently the module only supports Puppet Tasks see https://puppet.com/docs/bolt/0.x/bolt_running_tasks.html for more information on running the provided tasks.

Limitations

The tasks provided will only work on a server configured as the Puppet Enterprise server or MOM.

Development

Pull requests welcome.

ToDo

• Create puppet_ds resources equivalent to all tasks.
