This key must be accepted using the \fBsalt\-key\fP command on the Salt master. .sp Salt minion keys can be in one of the following states: .INDENT 0.0 .IP \(bu 2 \fBunaccepted\fP: key is waiting to be accepted. .IP \(bu 2 \fBaccepted\fP: key was accepted and the minion can communicate with the Salt master. .IP \(bu 2 \fBrejected\fP: key was rejected using the \fBsalt\-key\fP command. In this state the minion does not receive any communication from the Salt master. .IP \(bu 2 \fBdenied\fP: key was rejected automatically by the Salt master. This occurs when a minion has a duplicate ID, or when a minion was rebuilt or had new keys generated and the previous key was not deleted from the Salt master. In this state the minion does not receive any communication from the Salt master. .UNINDENT .sp To change the state of a minion key, use \fB\-d\fP to delete the key and then accept or reject the key. .SH OPTIONS .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-version Print the version of Salt that is running. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-versions\-report Show program\(aqs dependencies and version number, and then exit .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-h, \-\-help Show the help message and exit .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-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 \fB/etc/salt\fP\&. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-u USER, \-\-user=USER Specify user to run salt\-key .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-hard\-crash Raise any original exception rather than exiting gracefully. Default is False. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-q, \-\-quiet Suppress output .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-y, \-\-yes Answer \(aqYes\(aq to all questions presented, defaults to False .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-rotate\-aes\-key=ROTATE_AES_KEY Setting this to False prevents the master from refreshing the key session when keys are deleted or rejected, this lowers the security of the key deletion/rejection operation. Default is True. .UNINDENT .SS Logging Options .sp Logging options which override any settings defined on the configuration files. .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-log\-file=LOG_FILE Log file path. Default: /var/log/salt/minion\&. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-log\-file\-level=LOG_LEVEL_LOGFILE Logfile logging log level. One of \fBall\fP, \fBgarbage\fP, \fBtrace\fP, \fBdebug\fP, \fBinfo\fP, \fBwarning\fP, \fBerror\fP, \fBquiet\fP\&. Default: \fBwarning\fP\&. .UNINDENT .SS Output Options .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-out Pass in an alternative outputter to display the return of data. This outputter can be any of the available outputters: .INDENT 7.0 .INDENT 3.5 \fBgrains\fP, \fBhighstate\fP, \fBjson\fP, \fBkey\fP, \fBoverstatestage\fP, \fBpprint\fP, \fBraw\fP, \fBtxt\fP, \fByaml\fP .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp Some outputters are formatted only for data returned from specific functions; for instance, the \fBgrains\fP outputter will not work for non\-grains data. .sp If an outputter is used that does not support the data passed into it, then Salt will fall back on the \fBpprint\fP outputter and display the return data using the Python \fBpprint\fP standard library module. .sp \fBNOTE:\fP .INDENT 7.0 .INDENT 3.5 If using \fB\-\-out=json\fP, you will probably want \fB\-\-static\fP as well. Without the static option, you will get a separate JSON string per minion which makes JSON output invalid as a whole. This is due to using an iterative outputter. So if you want to feed it to a JSON parser, use \fB\-\-static\fP as well. .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-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. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-out\-file=OUTPUT_FILE, \-\-output\-file=OUTPUT_FILE Write the output to the specified file. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-no\-color Disable all colored output .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-force\-color Force colored output .sp \fBNOTE:\fP .INDENT 7.0 .INDENT 3.5 When using colored output the color codes are as follows: .sp \fBgreen\fP denotes success, \fBred\fP denotes failure, \fBblue\fP denotes changes and success and \fByellow\fP denotes a expected future change in configuration. .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .SS Actions .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-l ARG, \-\-list=ARG List the public keys. The args \fBpre\fP, \fBun\fP, and \fBunaccepted\fP will list unaccepted/unsigned keys. \fBacc\fP or \fBaccepted\fP will list accepted/signed keys. \fBrej\fP or \fBrejected\fP will list rejected keys. Finally, \fBall\fP will list all keys. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-L, \-\-list\-all List all public keys. (Deprecated: use \fB\-\-list all\fP) .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-a ACCEPT, \-\-accept=ACCEPT Accept the specified public key (use \-\-include\-all to match rejected keys in addition to pending keys). Globs are supported. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-A, \-\-accept\-all Accepts all pending keys. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-r REJECT, \-\-reject=REJECT Reject the specified public key (use \-\-include\-all to match accepted keys in addition to pending keys). Globs are supported. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-R, \-\-reject\-all Rejects all pending keys. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-include\-all Include non\-pending keys when accepting/rejecting. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-p PRINT, \-\-print=PRINT Print the specified public key. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-P, \-\-print\-all Print all public keys .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-d DELETE, \-\-delete=DELETE Delete the specified key. Globs are supported. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-D, \-\-delete\-all Delete all keys. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-f FINGER, \-\-finger=FINGER Print the specified key\(aqs fingerprint. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-F, \-\-finger\-all Print all keys\(aq fingerprints. .UNINDENT .SS Key Generation Options .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-gen\-keys=GEN_KEYS Set a name to generate a keypair for use with salt .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-gen\-keys\-dir=GEN_KEYS_DIR Set the directory to save the generated keypair. Only works with \(aqgen_keys_dir\(aq option; default is the current directory. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-keysize=KEYSIZE Set the keysize for the generated key, only works with the \(aq\-\-gen\-keys\(aq option, the key size must be 2048 or higher, otherwise it will be rounded up to 2048. The default is 2048. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-gen\-signature Create a signature file of the master\(aqs public\-key named master_pubkey_signature. The signature can be sent to a minion in the master\(aqs auth\-reply and enables the minion to verify the master\(aqs public\-key cryptographically. This requires a new signing\-key\-pair which can be auto\-created with the \-\-auto\-create parameter. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-priv=PRIV The private\-key file to create a signature with .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-signature\-path=SIGNATURE_PATH The path where the signature file should be written .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-pub=PUB The public\-key file to create a signature for .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-auto\-create Auto\-create a signing key\-pair if it does not yet exist .UNINDENT .SH SEE ALSO .sp \fBsalt(7)\fP \fBsalt\-master(1)\fP \fBsalt\-minion(1)\fP .SH AUTHOR Thomas S.
