Description

This module installs and configures PE client tools on your machine

Setup

What pe_client_tools_easy_setup affects

This module will install files into /etc/puppetlabs/client-tools and /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/ssl/certs

Setup Requirements

This module assumes PE is already installed, and the agent is running on the client.

Pre-Install Steps

Install this module by running these command first on the master as root:
puppet module install beersy-pe_client_tools_easy_setup

Then add these values to your hiera file (ex, /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/hieradata/common.yaml)

  • pe_client_tools_easy_setup::client_tools_package_path: CLIENT_TOOLS_PACKAGE_PATH
  • pe_client_tools_easy_setup::pe_server_certname: PE_SERVER_CERTNAME
  • pe_client_tools_easy_setup::access_token_path: ACCESS_TOKEN_PATH

Replace the values before running:

  • CLIENT_TOOLS_PACKAGE_PATH = Path to client tools .msi,.rpm, or .dmg
  • PE_SERVER_CERTNAME = certname of the PE Master (must match the name in the ca.pem file)
  • ACCESS_TOKEN_PATH = Where to find the access token

Install Steps

If you are using hiera, run this command: puppet apply -e "include ::pe_client_tools_easy_setup"

If you are not using hiera you can specify the parameters at the command line:
puppet apply -e "class { 'pe_client_tools_easy_setup': pe_server_certname => 'PE_SERVER_CERTNAME', client_tools_package_path => 'CLIENT_TOOLS_PACKAGE_PATH', access_token_path => 'ACCESS_TOKEN_PATH'}"
