I am setting up provisioning from a vmware template. I cannot setup dhcp
in the environment for ssh provisioning so I'm working with the user data
template option. I've got it working to the point of provisioning the vm
and configuring the network and such as needed, but how can a finish
template be applied in addition to the user data template so the
registration, salt and freeipa bits can be completed?

That was my thinking but I still can't find a way to tie this all
together. My current user-data script is this (shamelessly borrowed off
this forum
<%#
kind: user_data
name: vmware user data
oses:

Redhat 7

and that part works. VM is provisioned and network/host settings are
applied.
But adding just bash scripts onto this causes it to error out since it
appears to be looking for yaml. How can I combine this into the additional
bits that need to be run once the host has been provisioned?
Were you ever able to get the finish template to run after the user-data
template completes the vm template provision process? I'm running into the
same issue.

Finish script needs a valid IP address associated with a VMWare host,
this can be usually achieved when DHCP is under Foremans control and
VM will come up correctly with correct IP address.
And user-data will work as well but just partially - there is a
conversion from cloud-init to vmware XML in fog but its very
simplistic. And it ingores "call home" so hosts stays in build mode
(and build loop).
This is very unfortunate, we need to fix this. I have heard that there
are still some people using VMWare
