hiera yaml code not working

[pananix]

The following yaml does not work. Output remains default.

nsswitch::params:
passwd: [ 'compat', 'files', 'nis', 'sss' ]
shadow: [ 'compat', 'files', 'nis', 'sss' ]
group: [ 'compat' ,'files', 'nis', 'sss' ]
hosts: [ 'files', 'dns', 'myhostname' ]
bootparams: [ 'nisplus', '[NOTFOUND=return]', 'files' ]
ethers: [ 'files' ]
netmasks: [ 'files' ]
networks: [ 'files' ]
protocols: [ 'files' ]
rpc: [ 'files' ]
services: [ 'files', 'sss']
netgroup: [ 'files', 'nis', 'sss']
publickey: [ 'nisplus' ]
automount: [ 'files', 'nis', 'sss']
aliases: [ 'files', 'nisplus' ]

Can you give some more detail? It successfully falls back to module hiera data right? But it doesn't find your specific Hiera data? What version of the module? What version of Puppet? I need some more information to understand what might be going on here.

Ping...

Any possibility you could provide the information above? If not I'll close this soon.

Hi, I am experiencing the same issue on a puppet 5.3.6 master and Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.6 agents running agent version 5.5.10
yaml dict looks like this:

nsswitch::params:
    passwd:
        - 'files'
        - 'sss'
        - 'crap'
    shadow:
        - 'files'
        - 'sss'
    group:
        - 'files'
        - 'sss'
    hosts:
        - 'files'
        - 'dns'
        - 'myhostname'
    bootparams:
        - 'nisplus [NOTFOUND=return]'
        - 'files'
    ethers:
        - 'files'
    netmasks:
        - 'files'
    networks:
        - 'files'
    protocols:
        - 'files'
    rpc:
        - 'files'
    services:
        - 'files'
        - 'sss'
    netgroup:
        - 'nisplus'
        - 'sss'
    publickey:
        - 'nisplus'
    automount:
        - 'files'
        - 'nisplus'
        - 'sss'
    aliases:
        - 'files'
        - 'nisplus'
    sudoers:
        - 'files'
        - 'sss'

Hi again,
I am using this, as suggested on puppetforge, as a dependency to ghoneycut/pam module.

As a workaround for now, I tried to declare the nsswitch class and set my desired nsswitch options here:

class profile::base::pam {
    include ::pam

    class { 'nsswitch':
        passwd => ['files', 'sss', 'crap'],
        shadow => ['files', 'sss'],
        group => ['files', 'sss'],
        hosts  => ['files', 'dns', 'myhostname'],
        sudoers => ['files', 'sss'],
    }
}

This doesn't work for this obvious reason:

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 500 on SERVER: Server Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Resource Statement, Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Resource Statement, Duplicate declaration: Class[Nsswitch] is already declared; cannot redeclare (file: /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/stag/site/profile/manifests/base/pam.pp, line: 4) (file: /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/stag/site/profile/manifests/base/pam.pp, line: 4, column: 5) on node xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.xxxx.xxxxx.xx
Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run

I think I am giving up for now with the puppetforge "approved" modules ;-) Just kidding and no offence I would love to help to get this fixed but unfortunately I am running out of time in a project.

Hope that helps anyway! :-)

all the best
Jojo

At least I figured one thing out: I forgot to remove the "include ::pam" in my profile, that's the reason for the redeclaration error haha ;-)
