## Synopsis

- Sync Cobbler to commit changes.

## Parameters

Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments
--- | --- | ---
host - | Default: "127.0.0.1" | The name or IP address of the Cobbler system.
password - / required |  | The password to log in to Cobbler.
port - |  | Port number to be used for REST connection. The default value depends on parameter `use_ssl`.
use_ssl boolean | Choices: no yes ← | If `no`, an HTTP connection will be used instead of the default HTTPS connection.
username - | Default: "cobbler" | The username to log in to Cobbler.
validate_certs boolean | Choices: no yes ← | If `no`, SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only set to `no` when used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates.

## Notes

Note

- Concurrently syncing Cobbler is bound to fail with weird errors.
- On python 2.7.8 and older (i.e. on RHEL7) you may need to tweak the python behaviour to disable certificate validation. More information at Certificate verification in Python standard library HTTP clients.
