How to sign the puppet certificate on master using Jenkins

Question

Can anyone help me how to sign the puppet certificate on master using Jenkins?

Answer 1

All you need to do is SSH into your Jenkins server and then run puppet by hand the first time:

ssh root@192.168.122.3
puppet agent --test --waitforcert=60

It will attempt to connect to a server which resolves as puppet.

Once the puppet job runs you may need to sign the certificate on the puppet master using the following command:

puppet cert sign jenkins.guest

You should now be able to connect to your Jenkins server on http://192.168.122.3:8080
