Error: Could not find a suitable provider for ldap_entry

[pedroresende]

I have the following configuration

class { 'ldap::server':
  suffix  => 'dc=piu,dc=de',
  rootdn  => 'cn=admin,dc=piu,dc=de',
  rootpw  => '{MD5}FLasFExRTZnaVKq2ALMPAA==',
}

class { 'ldap::client':
  uri  => 'ldap://127.0.0.1',
  base => 'dc=piu,dc=de',
}

ldap_entry { 'cn=groups,dc=piu,dc=de':
  ensure      => present,
  base        => 'dc=piu,dc=de',
  host        => 'ldap://127.0.0.1',
  username    => 'cn=test,cn=groups,dc=piu,dc=de',
  password    => '{MD5}FLasFExRTZnaVKq2ALMPAA==',
}

That's not a configuration problem, your puppet master doesn't know about the provider. Is the module installed correctly ?

[pedroresende]

@dc-mattj I'm trying to use it directly in a puphpet vagrant generated. I've downloaded the release and exported it to puppet/modules folder.
Apparently the part of the server and client it's working, the only problem is when I try to add a new ldap_entry.
Is there a way to call the ldap_entry from inside the class declaration ?

[mattj-io]

Types and providers should just work in that configuration. Do other custom providers and types work ?

[pedroresende]

The one that are generated by puphpnet work correctly

[mattj-io]

I've never used puphpnet, so no idea how that's supposed to work I'm afraid.

Same issue here, not using puphpnet, just puppet + librarian + vagrant.

I take it you are all running puppet 4? This appears to be the secret sauce that's not been mentioned. I shall re-architect and get a fix out asap.

[jwgmeligmeyling]

I am on Puppet 3.x.x as I couldn't get 4.x.x to work with Vagrant:hashicorp/vagrant#5615 . Still have to look in that issue. Is this package not supported on puppet 3?

[spjmurray]

Interesting, I've just run the above manifest on 3.8.5 fine, but it fails on 4.3.2. Either way it's flaking out due to the provider being confined to systems with the net_ldap feature. I'll fix that up/amend the documentation and add beaker acceptance testing for puppet 3.x and 4.x on centos 7 and ubuntu 14.04.
