Apologies for not getting it tested on people1 like we talked about
the other day.  Work took precedence.  But, I did find a nice hole in
my current patch when I deployed it in another environment.  The
Puppet[:hostcert] and Puppet[:hostprivkey] get evaluate by the puppet
master, and end up being invalid on the clients.  I ended up using:

    cert_file = <%= Puppet[:certdir] %>/<%= fqdn %>.pem
    key_file = <%= Puppet[:privatekeydir] %>/<%= fqdn %>.pem

in my environment, but that's not quite as nice as I'd envisioned.
(And, of course, your test plan was well founded.  I should know
better.  I'm glad you did. :)

I'll hopefully have time to update the patch in infrastructure and
test this on people1 in the next few days.  I'll ping you on irc
before I do so, to make sure someone is around in case it doesn't work
out.  I have deployed this at work though, and it's working nicely
there, so I'm more confident.

I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an
exception.
