Will this value work for just puppet outside of foreman, to just pull the
computername for the certname?

Thanks for the response, this only applies to templates within Foreman.

Sorry I misunderstood your question. I think you just asked this on IRC,
but I didn't respond quickly enough before you quit.

Anyhow, assuming the value of certname is set properly in puppet.conf, you
can access it like this in a template:

<%= Puppet.settings[:certname] %>

Hope that helps!

My puppet.conf erb file, uses:

certname = <%= scope.lookupvar('::clientcert') %>

which I believe is the generic puppet form of including the certname
fact in a template.

Thanks,
Brian
