cobbler_sync - Sync Cobbler

New in version 2.7.

Synopsis

• Sync Cobbler to commit changes.

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
host	Default: 127.0.0.1	The name or IP address of the Cobbler system.
password required		The password to log in to Cobbler.
port		Port number to be used for REST connection. The default value depends on parameter use_ssl.
use_ssl bool	Choices: no yes ←	If no, an HTTP connection will be used instead of the default HTTPS connection.
username	Default: cobbler	The username to log in to Cobbler.
validate_certs bool	Choices: no yes ←	If no, SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only set to no when used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates.

Notes

Note

• Concurrently syncing Cobbler is bound to fail with weird errors.
• On python 2.7.8 and older (i.e. on RHEL7) you may need to tweak the python behaviour to disable certificate validation. More information at Certificate verification in Python standard library HTTP clients.
