SYNOPSIS

       salt-key [ options ]

DESCRIPTION

       Salt-key executes simple management of Salt server public keys used for authentication.

OPTIONS

       --version
              Print the version of Salt that is running.

       --versions-report
              Show program's dependencies and version number, and then exit

       -h, --help
              Show the help message and exit

       -c CONFIG_DIR, --config-dir=CONFIG_dir
              The  location  of  the  Salt  configuration  directory. This directory contains the
              configuration files for Salt master and  minions.  The  default  location  on  most
              systems is /etc/salt.

       -q, --quiet
              Suppress output

       -y, --yes
              Answer 'Yes' to all questions presented, defaults to False

   Logging Options
       Logging options which override any settings defined on the configuration files.

       --log-file=LOG_FILE
              Log file path. Default: /var/log/salt/minion.

       --log-file-level=LOG_LEVEL_LOGFILE
              Logfile logging log level. One of all, garbage, trace, debug, info, warning, error,
              quiet. Default: warning.

   Output Options
       --out  Pass in an alternative outputter to display the return of data. This outputter  can
              be any of the available outputters:
                 grains, highstate, json, key, overstatestage, pprint, raw, txt, yaml

              Some  outputters  are formatted only for data returned from specific functions; for
              instance, the grains outputter will not work for non-grains data.

              If an outputter is used that does not support the data passed into  it,  then  Salt
              will fall back on the pprint outputter and display the return data using the Python
              pprint standard library module.

              NOTE:
                 If using --out=json, you will probably  want  --static  as  well.   Without  the
                 static option, you will get a JSON string for each minion.  This is due to using
                 an iterative outputter. So if you want to feed it to a JSON parser, use --static
                 as well.

       --out-indent OUTPUT_INDENT, --output-indent OUTPUT_INDENT
              Print  the output indented by the provided value in spaces. Negative values disable
              indentation. Only applicable in outputters that support indentation.

       --out-file=OUTPUT_FILE, --output-file=OUTPUT_FILE
              Write the output to the specified file.

       --no-color
              Disable all colored output

       --force-color
              Force colored output

   Actions
       -l ARG, --list=ARG
              List  the  public  keys.  The  args  "pre",  "un",  and  "unaccepted"   will   list
              unaccepted/unsigned keys. "acc" or "accepted" will list accepted/signed keys. "rej"
              or "rejected" will list rejected keys. Finally, "all" will list all keys.

       -L, --list-all
              List all public keys on this Salt master: accepted, pending, and rejected.

       -a ACCEPT, --accept=ACCEPT
              Accept the named minion public key for command execution.

       -A, --accept-all
              Accepts all pending public keys.

       -r REJECT, --reject=REJECT
              Reject the named minion public key.

       -R, --reject-all
              Rejects all pending public keys.

       -p PRINT, --print=PRINT
              Print the specified public key

       -P, --print-all
              Print all public keys

       -d DELETE, --delete=DELETE
              Delete the named minion key or minion keys matching a glob for command execution.

       -D, --delete-all
              Delete all keys

       -f FINGER, --finger=FINGER
              Print the named key's fingerprint

       -F, --finger-all
              Print all key's fingerprints

   Key Generation Options
       --gen-keys=GEN_KEYS
              Set a name to generate a keypair for use with salt

       --gen-keys-dir=GEN_KEYS_DIR
              Set the directory to save the generated keypair.  Only  works  with  'gen_keys_dir'
              option; default is the current directory.

       --keysize=KEYSIZE
              Set the keysize for the generated key, only works with the '--gen-keys' option, the
              key size must be 2048 or higher, otherwise it will  be  rounded  up  to  2048.  The
              default is 2048.
