Puppet required?
by Avram Lubkin 06 May '13

06 May '13

I was looking over the project and it looks interesting, much improved over Spacewalk. I particularly like how different projects are used instead of one monolithic project. There's just one thing that concerns me. It looks like if I want to do provisioning I have to use Foreman and if I use Foreman I have to use Puppet. Since Puppet requires ruby installed on all clients I can't deploy it. This is due to a security requirement. I can't add interpreters to a system unless I have a good justification. I can do what puppet does without adding another interpreter, so I can't justify it. I know there are lots of organizations that use puppet and probably install Ruby to support it, but I've never worked with a group that would allow that. Any plans to support CFengine or something similar that wouldn't require another interpreter on the clients? Python is Okay too, since any RHEL or RHEL-like system already has it. Please reply all, not on the list. Thanks, Avram

Question about supported databases
by Nick Harrison 11 Apr '12

11 Apr '12

I just discovered Katello and it looks like a great product. One question I had was whether PostgreSQL was the only supported database or if there were other supported platforms (ideally I would be able to re-use the database product I already run in my environment). Would someone clarify this for me? Thanks in advance. Nick

katello ldap users password
by Marco Giunta 03 Apr '12

03 Apr '12

Hi at all, I'm a Spacewalk users: I use it to manage some workstations, with the help of some colleagues ... Now I'd like to migrate some workstations to Katello. I've just install it, but I didn't find any documentation on how to connect user manager part to our ldap server. In Spacewalk (after creating pam configuration file), I have create some users, with the same userid of our ldap, and then the user was able to connect using same ldap password. How to replicate the same behaviour in Katello ??? Regards, Marco
