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/sta-
ble/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 finger-
print

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
