TASK 129: Setup Puppet Certs

Requirements

The Nautilus DevOps team has set up a puppet master and an agent node in Stratos Datacenter. Puppet master is running on jump host itself (also note that Puppet master node is also running as Puppet CA server) and Puppet agent is running on App Server 3. Since it is a fresh set up, the team wants to sign certificates for puppet master as well as puppet agent nodes so that they can proceed with the next steps of set up. You can find more details about the task below:

  • Puppet server and agent nodes are already have required packages, but you may need to start puppetserver (on master) and puppet service on both nodes.

  • Assign and sign certificates for both master and agent node.

Steps

Check the /etc/hosts file on the jump server and make sure to add the alias.

sudo vi /etc/hosts

172.16.239.2    jump_host.stratos.xfusioncorp.com   jump_host   puppet
172.16.238.3    jump_host.stratos.xfusioncorp.com   jump_host   puppet

Restart the Puppet service in the jump server.

sudo systemctl restart puppetserver 
sudo systemctl status puppetserver

Login to the app server and switch to root. For the server credentials, check out the Project Nautilus documentation.

Edit the /etc/hosts file in the app server and add the alias of the jump server.

sshpass -p  '**********' ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no [email protected]
sudo su -
sudo vi /etc/hosts

172.16.239.2    jump_host.stratos.xfusioncorp.com   jump_host   puppet
172.16.238.3    jump_host.stratos.xfusioncorp.com   jump_host   puppet

Test connectivity to the jump server by pinging it.

[root@stapp01 ~]# ping puppet

Restart the Puppet service in the app server.

sudo systemctl restart puppet
sudo systemctl status puppet

If you see this error, simply restart the Puppet service again.

Back on the jump server, check the certs. Sign the certificate on puppet server.

puppetserver ca list --all
puppetserver ca sign --all

Return to the app server and validate by running:

puppet agent -t
