Connecting Foreman server to existing Puppetmaster server

Support
1

I have been looking through the posts, but have not really found how to
connect my Foreman Server to my existing Puppetmaster server. (of course
it is also possible that I just dont understand).

Is there documentation on this type of implementation?

Thanks in advance!

What level of integration are you looking for? Facts/reports?
Importing existing classes? Managing certificates? All of these are
detailed in the wiki, but we can't point you in the right direction
until we know what you want :slight_smile:

You need the Foreman proxy installed on the puppetmaster box, then
configure it to talk to the foreman.

That is a really old version of Foreman, current is 1.0.1 You might
want to think about upgrading, The foreman Installer can help you get
it all installed correctly.

Hi

I have similar question. I am newbie for forman and puppet as well.
Basically I have been able to install the foreman on my machine, and
now I want to integrate foreman with my existing puppetmaster. For now
I just need to integrate its manifest/class files or the DB. I
followed following links


The main intention is that, I already have puppetmaster managing all
VMs/real machines. and now need to integrate foreman with puppet to
include installation ability (as far as i know foreman is best to fill
the gap).

I searched in google but could not find a doc/howto for such things.
Any help will be great!

Thanks,
Chandan
