Here is an exmaple to automatically create a policy and acl for each host.
For development environments `acl_api_token` can be the bootstrap token. For production it should be a dedicated token with access to write/read from the acls.

```
# Crate ACL policy that allows nodes to update themselves and read others
consul_policy { $::hostname:
description => "${::hostname}, generated by puppet",
rules => [
{
'resource' => 'node',
'segment' => "$::hostname",
'disposition' => 'write'
},
{
'resource' => 'node',
'segment' => '',
'disposition' => 'read'
}
],
acl_api_token => $acl_api_token
}

consul_token { $::hostname:
policies_by_name => ["${::hostname}"],
acl_api_token => $acl_api_token,
}
```

Predefining token secret is supported by setting secret_id property.

Externally created tokens and policies may be used by referencing them by ID (Token: accessor_id property, Policy: ID property, linking: policies_by_id property)
