 1. Generate a pre-signed certificate for client1.example.com with the following command:
       puppet cert --generate client1.example.com
 Puppet will now generate and sign a client certificate in the name of client1. example.com.
 2. Transfer the three required files; the private key, the client certificate, and the CA certificate, to the new client. These are found in the following locations:
      /etc/puppet/ssl/private_keys/client1.example.com.pem
      /etc/puppet/ssl/certs/client1.example.com.pem
      /etc/puppet/ssl/certs/ca.pem
 Transfer these to the corresponding directories on the client, and it will then be authenticated without the certificate request step. Note that the location of Puppet's SSL certs varies according to the ssldir setting in puppet.conf.
