NAME

puppet-ca - Local Puppet Certificate Authority management.

SYNOPSIS

puppet ca action

DESCRIPTION

This provides local management of the Puppet Certificate Authority.

You can use this subcommand to sign outstanding certificate requests, list and manage local certificates, and inspect the state of the CA.

OPTIONS

Note that any configuration parameter 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 configuration parameters, so you can specify --server <servername>, or --run_mode <runmode> as an argument.

See the configuration file documentation at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/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.

ACTIONS

destroy -: SYNOPSIS
: puppet ca destroy
: DESCRIPTION
: Undocumented action.
fingerprint -: SYNOPSIS
: puppet ca fingerprint [--digest ALGORITHM]
: DESCRIPTION
: Undocumented action.
: OPTIONS --digest ALGORITHM - The hash algorithm to use when displaying the fingerprint
generate -: SYNOPSIS
: puppet ca generate [--dns-alt-names NAMES]
: DESCRIPTION
: Undocumented action.
: OPTIONS --dns-alt-names NAMES - The comma-separated list of alternative DNS names to use for the local host. When the node generates a CSR for itself, these are added to the request as the desired subjectAltName in the certificate: additional DNS labels that the certificate is also valid answering as. This is generally required if you use a non-hostname certname, or if you want to use puppet kick or puppet resource -H and the primary certname does not match the DNS name you use to communicate with the host. This is unnecessary for agents, unless you intend to use them as a server for puppet kick or remote puppet resource management. It is rarely necessary for servers; it is usually helpful only if you need to have a pool of multiple load balanced masters, or for the same master to respond on two physically separate networks under different names.
list - List certificates and/or certificate requests.: SYNOPSIS
: puppet ca list [--[no-]all] [--[no-]pending] [--[no-]signed] [--digest ALGORITHM] [--subject PATTERN]
: DESCRIPTION
: This will list the current certificates and certificate signing requests in the Puppet CA. You will also get the fingerprint, and any certificate verification failure reported.
: OPTIONS --[no-]all - Include all certificates and requests.
: --digest ALGORITHM - The hash algorithm to use when displaying the fingerprint
: --[no-]pending - Include pending certificate signing requests.
: --[no-]signed - Include signed certificates.
: --subject PATTERN - Only include certificates or requests where subject matches PATTERN.
: PATTERN is interpreted as a regular expression, allowing complex filtering of the content.
