| 3 | Users who wish to deploy their hosts using a random unique id, should enable that setting, and use the certname directive in their puppet.conf template, e.g.: |
||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | certname = <%25= @host.certname %25> |
||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | when the certname was not generated (e.g. for hosts created before this patch) @host.certname would return the host name instead. |

| 9 | for provisioning where DNS is not reliable, it is highly recommended to use certnames. |
