module's quality. Each module is
given a score based on how well
the author has formatted their
code and documentation and
modules are also checked for
malware using VirusTotal.

Documentation

  • RHEL 6
  • RHEL 7
  • RHEL 8
  • RHEL 9
  • Debian 9

The module also works on Oracle Linux, Rocky Linux and Fedora

Example usage

For easy contribution you can add the certificate to the files folder of this module, but it is beter to use a custom folder. For example in your profile folder. The certificates that are included in the files folder and the $certifcates_list in params.pp are distributed to the assigned machines. The name in the $certificate_list must be the same as the pem file. Example:

  1. add the PEM file the the profile/files/ test.cacert.pem

  2. add the new certificate to the params.pp $certificate_list = ["test.cacert.pem"]

OR even better!

Call the module (RedHat / CentOS):

Note that for RedHat family the file extension should be '.pem':

class {'certificate_distribution':
  certificate_list => ['cachain.pem'],
  content           => '###CA###'
}

For Debian family the file extension should be '.crt'

class {'certificate_distribution':
  certificate_list => ['cachain.crt'],
  content           => '###CA###'
}
