NAME
puppet-ssl - Manage SSL keys and certificates for puppet SSL clients
SYNOPSIS
Manage SSL keys and certificates for SSL clients needing to communicate with a puppet infrastructure.
USAGE
puppet ssl action [-h|--help] [-v|--verbose] [-d|--debug] [--localca] [--target CERTNAME]
OPTIONS
• --help: Print this help message.
• --verbose: Print extra information.
• --debug: Enable full debugging.
• --localca Also clean the local CA certificate and CRL.
• --target CERTNAME Clean the specified device certificate instead of this host´s certificate.
ACTIONS
bootstrap
Perform all of the steps necessary to request and download a client certificate. If autosigning is
disabled, then puppet will wait every waitforcert seconds for its certificate to be signed. To
only attempt once and never wait, specify a time of 0. Since waitforcert is a Puppet setting, it
can be specified as a time interval, such as 30s, 5m, 1h.
submit_request
Generate a certificate signing request (CSR) and submit it to the CA. If a private and public key
pair already exist, they will be used to generate the CSR. Otherwise a new key pair will be
generated. If a CSR has already been submitted with the given certname, then the operation will
fail.
generate_request
Generate a certificate signing request (CSR). If a private and public key pair already exist, they
will be used to generate the CSR. Otherwise a new key pair will be generated.
download_cert
Download a certificate for this host. If the current private key matches the downloaded
certificate, then the certificate will be saved and used for subsequent requests. If there is
already an existing certificate, it will be overwritten.
verify Verify the private key and certificate are present and match, verify the certificate is issued by
a trusted CA, and check revocation status.
clean Remove the private key and certificate related files for this host. If --localca is specified,
then also remove this host´s local copy of the CA certificate(s) and CRL bundle. if --target
CERTNAME is specified, then remove the files for the specified device on this host instead of this
host.
show Print the full-text version of this host´s certificate.
