Name

       ganeti-rapi - Ganeti remote API daemon

Synopsis

       ganeti-rapi   [-d]   [-f]   [-p   PORT]   [-bADDRESS]   [-iINTERFACE]   |   [--no-ssl]   [-KSSL_KEY_FILE]
       [-CSSL_CERT_FILE*]
       [--require-authentication]

DESCRIPTION

       ganeti-rapi is the daemon providing a remote API for Ganeti clusters.

       It is automatically started on the master node, and by default it  uses  SSL  encryption.   This  can  be
       disabled  by passing the --no-ssl option, or alternatively the certificate used can be changed via the -C
       option and the key via the -K option.

       The daemon will listen to the "ganeti-rapi" TCP port, as listed in the system services  database,  or  if
       not  defined,  to  port  5080  by  default.  The port can be overridded by passing the -p option.  The -b
       option can be used to specify the address to bind to (defaults to 0.0.0.0); alternatively, the -i  option
       can be used to specify the interface to bind do.

       See the Ganeti remote API documentation for further information.

       Requests  are  logged  to  /var/log/ganeti/rapi-daemon.log, in the same format as for the node and master
       daemon.

ACCESS CONTROLS

       Most query operations are allowed without  authentication.   Only  the  modification  operations  require
       authentication,  in  the form of basic authentication.  Specify the --require-authentication command line
       flag to always require authentication.

       The users and their rights are defined in the /var/lib/ganeti/rapi/users file.  The format of  this  file
       is described in the Ganeti documentation (rapi.html).
