Foreman Backend for Hiera

A pluggable hiera backend that queries a foreman server for data.

Notes

Since foreman has its own configurable search hierarchy, hiera-foreman does not attempt to implement hierarchy in any way currently.

Configuration

You will need to edit your hiera.yaml config file to include a foreman url, as well as a username, and password, if you're using HTTP Basic Auth.
