puppet-sslcert

Small define that will allow you to manage Windows certificates. It will manage pfx, cer, der, p7b, sst certificates.

This module has been changed to require a certificate thumbprint. This is for 2 reasons:

• We want to make sure that the certificate that you are requesting to install is actually the correct certificate. We verify the thumbprint parameter against the thumbprint of the certificate
• We can identify your certificate from any certificate chains. This allows us to put the correct certificates in the correct certificate stores

Usage

sslcertificate { "Install-PFX-Certificate" :
  name       => 'mycert.pfx',
  password   => 'password123',
  location   => 'C:\',
  thumbprint => '07E5C1AF7F5223CB975CC29B5455642F5570798B'
}

By default, it will store the certificate in Local Machine root store and in the My directory. If you want to change these, then use the parameters as follows:

sslcertificate { "Install-Intermediate-Certificate" :
  name       => 'go_daddy_intermediate.p7b',
  location   => 'C:\',
  store_dir  => 'CA',
  root_store => 'LocalMachine',
  thumbprint => '07E5C1AF7F5223CB975CC29B5455642F5570798B'
}

For more details on the different options available with certificate management directories, see Windows Dev Center.

Please note, you must download the file to the host before trying to install it. E.g:

file { 'go_daddy_intermediate' :
  ensure  => file,
  path    => 'C:\MyCerts',
  source  => "puppet:///modules/certificates/${name}",
}

sslcertificate { "Install-Intermediate-Certificate" :
  name       => 'go_daddy_intermediate.p7b',
  location   => 'C:\MyCerts',
  store_dir  => 'CA',
  root_store => 'LocalMachine',
  thumbprint => '0DGSDDA778MDHGKAKKDDK883MSAKD772DDD'
  require    => File['go_daddy_intermediate']
}   

The system sits on top of PowerShell, so if the PowerShell file cannot get to the certificate, then it will not be able to install it.
