1 Enable the REST API.

CONFIGURATION mode

rest-server http

2 Congure the username, password, and privilege for puppet.

CONFIGURATION mode

NOTE: Puppet supports only the username puppet for any puppet congurations.

3 Congure script path /usr/pkg/dnos-puppet/scripts/bin.

The script path conguration helps you to congure the unnamed scripts present in the congured path. All puppet congurations can

now be just script execute puppet-config args username puppet.
