Here is a patch for certmaster for optionally specifying the name that you wish to use as the minion identifier. If you do nothing, then the original behavior will be preserved (the minion's name will be dynamically derived by the utils.get_hostname() function). If you wish to override this default behavior (which may not be ideal if a server has multiple interfaces and/or aliases) simply add "minion_name = foo.bar" to /etc/certmaster/minion.conf. When funcd is started, it will request a cert as "foo.bar". eg. if your minion requests a cert as "foo.example.com" and you'd prefer to have it recognized by func as "foo.bar" then edit /etc/certmaster/minion.conf accordingly: [main] certmaster = certmaster ... minion_name = foo.bar After func is restarted and the cert signed you can invoke func requests for "foo.bar", "*.bar", etc... This of course assumes that foo.bar is a legitimate name for the server (eg. /etc/hosts, DNS, etc...).
