puppet-key - Create, save, and remove certificate keys.
puppet key action [--terminus _TERMINUS] [--extra HASH]
This subcommand manages certificate private keys. Keys are created
automatically by puppet agent and when certificate requests are generated
with ´puppet certificate generate´; it should not be necessary
to use this subcommand directly.
Note that any setting that´s valid in the configuration
file is also a valid long argument, although it may or may not be relevant
to the present action. For example, server and run_mode are
valid settings, so you can specify --server <servername>, or
--run_mode <runmode> as an argument.
See the configuration file documentation at
https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/latest/configuration.html for the full
list of acceptable parameters. A commented list of all configuration options
can also be generated by running puppet with --genconfig.
- --render-as
FORMAT
- The format in which to render output. The most common formats are
json, s (string), yaml, and console, but other
options such as dot are sometimes available.
- --verbose
- Whether to log verbosely.
- --debug
- Whether to log debug information.
- A terminus can take additional arguments to refine the operation, which
are passed as an arbitrary hash to the back-end. Anything passed as the
extra value is just send direct to the back-end.
- --terminus
_TERMINUS
- Indirector faces expose indirected subsystems of Puppet. These subsystems
are each able to retrieve and alter a specific type of data (with the
familiar actions of find, search, save, and
destroy) from an arbitrary number of pluggable backends. In Puppet
parlance, these backends are called terminuses.
- Almost all indirected subsystems have a rest terminus that
interacts with the puppet master´s data. Most of them have
additional terminuses for various local data models, which are in turn
used by the indirected subsystem on the puppet master whenever it receives
a remote request.
- The terminus for an action is often determined by context, but
occasionally needs to be set explicitly. See the "Notes" section
of this face´s manpage for more details.
This subcommand is an indirector face, which exposes find,
search, save, and destroy actions for an indirected
subsystem of Puppet. Valid termini for this face include:
- ○
- ca
- ○
- disabled_ca
- ○
- file

- memory
