USAGE - Basic management

• Enable auditing without without making changes on existing profile configuration files

  class { 'profile':
    audit_only => true
  }
  

• Use custom sources for /etc/profile

  class { 'profile':
    source => [ "puppet:///modules/example42/profile/profile.conf-${hostname}" , "puppet:///modules/example42/profile/profile.conf" ], 
  }
  

• Place a custom script (using source) in /etc/profile.d/ This creates the (executable) file: /etc/profile.d/java.sh

  profile::script { 'java':
    source => 'puppet:///modules/example42/profile/java.sh',
  }
  

• Place a custom script (using content) in /etc/profile.d/

  profile::script { 'java':
    content => template('/example42/profile/java.sh'),
  }
  

• Use custom source directory for the whole /etc/profile.d dir

  class { 'profile':
    source_dir       => 'puppet:///modules/example42/profile/conf/',
    source_dir_purge => false, # Set to true to purge any existing file not present in $source_dir
  }
  

• Use custom template for /etc/profile. Note that template and source arguments are alternative.

  class { 'profile':
    template => 'example42/profile/profile.conf.erb',
  }
  

• Automatically include a custom subclass

  class { 'profile':
    my_class => 'example42::my_profile',
  }
  

• Remove profile resources (DO NOT DO THAT)

  class { 'profile':
    absent => true
  }
