Description

I’m not sure what the intended behavior of the inventory file is (maybe it is appending instead of rewriting?) but our inventory.txt file is 569217 lines long with many servers listed multiple times.

Digant – Have you recently made a major change or added a number of certs? If so how did you remove the old certs?

#2
Updated by Digant Kasundra 9 months ago

We have not. When removing old certs, we always used the —clean option to puppetca.

Nigel, we discussed this; can you add the details of what the problem was, so we can get this sorted out?

Digant, are you sure you’re seeing this on 2.6.2 ?

We fixed this problem a long time ago in 0.24 or 0.25 I believe.

If you move inventory.txt out of the way, when you next sign a certificate it will include all the existing signed certs in a new file.

The previous bug was that it would append all certs to this file every time it signed a new cert.

I’ll move the file and see what happens the next time.

#8

So, after blowing it away, it created an inventory of all the certs and now it seems to add just each new cert one at a time, so I’m guessing this is the fixed behavior. The inventory file was probably never cleared after having grown out of control during the buggy phase. This bug can be closed or rejected (I don’t want to do it in case there is something special you guys prefer for your file keeping).
