Puppet-certs can't be executed with puppet agent

Hi All,

In our test environment, puppet agent errors [1] when executing puppet-cert (http://<http://github.com/Katello/puppet-certs/><http://github.com/Katello/puppet-certs/><http://github.com/Katello/puppet-certs/><http://github.com/Katello/puppet-certs/><http://github.com/Katello/puppet-certs/><http://github.com/Katello/puppet-certs/><http://github.com/Katello/puppet-certs/>github.com/Katello/puppet-certs/<http://github.com/Katello/puppet-certs/>), where line 170 corresponds with the line indicated from init.pp [2].

The actual exception seems to be raised in lib/puppet/type/certs_comon.rb:46, where the value passed to the ca::ca has a value but is not a variable of type Puppet::Resource

This seems odd, as the code works very well with puppet apply.

Were using Centos7 httpd/passenger/puppet 3.8.7-1
