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
