Chapter 11. Extending the Master
Even though some of the modules that we've written so far can be used on the Master, the focus has still been entirely on managing Minion-based operations. Even runners, which only run on the Master, were originally designed to script tasks between Minions.
There are two types of modules that are designed entirely for Master-side work: external authentication modules and wheel modules. In this chapter, we'll go over:
Adding external authentication to the Master
Troubleshooting external authentication modules
Managing Master configuration with wheel modules
Troubleshooting wheel modules
