05/30/2023, 1:57 PMie: is the 'epp' section heria-ifyable?
Brian Schonecker
05/30/2023, 2:00 PMI'm very close with:
foo:'clear_cache':command: "epp('puppet_nfii/sssd_join.epp'), { admin_password: %{lookup('admin_password')}, admin_name: %{lookup('admin_name')} }"timeout: 60tries: 2notify:- Exec[clear_cache]- Service[sssd]l

05/30/2023, 2:01 PMif it 's in a module called sssd, and admin_name, admin_password, and computers_ou are parameters to sssd, then you can skip the lookup and just reference the variables
Lumiere
05/30/2023, 2:01 PMbecause hiera Automatic Parameter Lookup will take care of it
Lumiere
05/30/2023, 2:02 PMbut I don't entirely make resources into hiera ever

05/30/2023, 2:03 PMI'm using sgnl05-sssd module; there aren't any admin/password parameters so I have to use lookup to populate my EPP file.

Lumiere
05/30/2023, 2:04 PMI'd suggest a profile
Lumiere
05/30/2023, 2:04 PMthis is exactly what profiles are for 🙂

05/30/2023, 2:04 PMI've got hiera separated into RedHat and OraclLinux hierarchies so in my RedHat.yaml file, I wanted to create the exec resource rather than "if os = redhat then <build this>, else <build that>"
Brian Schonecker
05/30/2023, 2:05 PMPerhaps I'm using roles and profiles wrong but I've got almost everything in hiera.

Lumiere
05/30/2023, 2:05 PMyea, you can still do that, but it will be much less complex if you can have a real exec resource and APL
Lumiere
05/30/2023, 2:06 PMprofile::sssd could have all the variables you need in addition to the sssd standard ones
Lumiere
05/30/2023, 2:06 PMand then you can just have the exec using profile_sssd::admin_password etc
Lumiere
05/30/2023, 2:06 PMand set them in the os/ hiera dirs

05/30/2023, 2:08 PMI'll see if I can make that happen. Thanks for the help.

Lumiere
05/30/2023, 2:08 PMhope it works out

05/30/2023, 2:23 PMI have a strong opinion that putting resource definitions into Hiera is anti-pattern.. though I know there is a lot of ppl who uses it and they are happy with it.
