    It is important that your server side logic uses $trusted when
    classifying on node since other facts cannot be trusted.

    If B is compromised a malicious user could spoof facts in a request and
    pretend to be A. It cannot however spoof the certificate - and it
    contains the information that is in $trusted.


Hey Henrik,

Thanks for the reply!

Suppose I don't use any facts for classification, but only the ENC assigns a role to the node via its fqdn.


You want the fqdn that is in $trusted - the "regular" fqdn can be spoofed.

- henrik


Class foo which comes through the role and profiles via the ENC has sensitive files in its "modules/foo/files/" path.

Can B obtain those files if B is not classified to have foo in its catalog?

Thank you for the help!
