Puppet Function: simplib::passgen::remove

Defined in:
lib/puppet/functions/simplib/passgen/remove.rb
Function type:
Ruby 4.x API

Overview

simplib::passgen::remove(String[1] $identifier, Optional[Hash] $simpkv_options) ⇒ Nil

Removes a generated password, history and stored attributes

  • Supports 2 modes:

    • simpkv

      • Password info is stored in a key/value store and removed using simpkv.

        • simpkv key is the identifier.

      • Terminates catalog compilation if any simpkv operation fails.

    • Legacy

      • Password info is stored in files on the local file system at ‘Puppet.settings/simp/environments/$environment/simp_autofiles/gen_passwd/`.

        • Password is stored in a file named for the identifier.

        • Salt is stored in a separate file named <identifier>.salt`.

        • Backups of the password and salt are files ending with ‘.last’.

      • Removes all password and salt files for the identifier.

      • Terminates catalog compilation if any password files cannot be removed by the user.

  • To enable simpkv implementation, set ‘simplib::passgen::simpkv` to `true` in hieradata. When that setting absent or false, legacy mode will be used.

Parameters:

  • identifier (String[1]) —

    Unique ‘String` to identify the password usage. Must conform to the following:

    • Identifier must contain only the following characters:

      • a-z

      • A-Z

      • 0-9

      • The following special characters:

        • ‘._:-` for the legacy implementation

        • ‘._:-/` for the simpkv-enabled implementation

    • Identifier may not contain ‘/./’ or ‘/../’ sequences.

  • simpkv_options (Optional[Hash]) —

    simpkv configuration when in simpkv mode.

    * Will be merged with `simpkv::options`.
* All keys are optional.

Options Hash (simpkv_options):

  • 'app_id' (String) —

    Specifies an application name that can be used to identify which backend configuration to use via fuzzy name matching, in the absence of the ‘backend` option.

    * More flexible option than `backend`.
* Useful for grouping together simpkv function calls found in different
  catalog resources.
* When specified and the `backend` option is absent, the backend will be
  selected preferring a backend in the merged `backends` option whose
  name exactly matches the `app_id`, followed by the longest backend
  name that matches the beginning of the `app_id`, followed by the
  `default` backend.
* When absent and the `backend` option is also absent, this function
  will use the `default` backend.
  • 'backend' (String) —

    Definitive name of the backend to use.

    * Takes precedence over `app_id`.
* When present, must match a key in the `backends` option of the
  merged options Hash or the function will fail.
* When absent in the merged options, this function will select
  the backend as described in the `app_id` option.
  • 'backends' (Hash) —

    Hash of backend configurations

    * Each backend configuration in the merged options Hash must be
  a Hash that has the following keys:

  * `type`:  Backend type.
  * `id`:  Unique name for the instance of the backend. (Same backend
    type can be configured differently).

 * Other keys for configuration specific to the backend may also be
   present.
  • 'environment' (String) —

    Puppet environment to prepend to keys.

    * When set to a non-empty string, it is prepended to the key used in
  the backend operation.
* Should only be set to an empty string when the key being accessed is
  truly global.
* Defaults to the Puppet environment for the node.
  • 'softfail' (Boolean) —

    Whether to ignore simpkv operation failures.

    * When `true`, this function will return a result even when the
  operation failed at the backend.
* When `false`, this function will fail when the backend operation
  failed.
* Defaults to `false`.

Returns:

  • (Nil)

Raises:

  • Exception if a simpkv operation fails or any legacy password file cannot be removed
