[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#520979: no way to disable ssl

[Jayen Ashar]

Package: puppetmaster
Version: 0.24.7-2
Severity: wishlist

we had a lot of problems setting up puppet when we first got started, and most 
of those were dealing with ssl.

we are now having a problem where we're trying to alleviate the load on our 
network.  our puppet server is on two subnets and we want our systems to connect 
to the interface on the puppet server that is on the same subnet. when we 
specify a specific interface in the puppet clients' puppet.conf, by specifying 
"server = hostname" or "server = ip", we get a certification mismatch "hostname 
was not match with the server certificate".  we've tried a few different things, 
and playing wtih the certname configuration option doesn't help.

we'd really just like a way to disable ssl completely.
