puppet certificate_request action [--terminus _TERMINUS] [--extra HASH]
Puppet manual PUPPET-CERTIFICATE_REQUEST(8)
NAME
puppet-certificate_request - Manage certificate requests.
SYNOPSIS
puppet certificate_request action [--terminus _TERMINUS] [--extra HASH]
DESCRIPTION
This subcommand retrieves and submits certificate signing requests
(CSRs).
OPTIONS
Note that any setting 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 settings, so
you can specify --server <servername>, or --run_mode <runmode> as an
argument.
See the configuration file documentation at https://docs.puppet-
labs.com/puppet/latest/reference/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.
--extra HASH
A terminus can take additional arguments to refine the opera-
tion, which are passed as an arbitrary hash to the back-end.
Anything passed as the extra value is just send direct to the
back-end.
--terminus _TERMINUS
Indirector faces expose indirected subsystems of Puppet. These
subsystems are each able to retrieve and alter a specific type
of data (with the familiar actions of find, search, save, and
destroy) from an arbitrary number of pluggable backends. In Pup-
pet parlance, these backends are called terminuses.
Almost all indirected subsystems have a rest terminus that
interacts with the puppet master's data. Most of them have addi-
tional terminuses for various local data models, which are in
turn used by the indirected subsystem on the puppet master when-
ever it receives a remote request.
The terminus for an action is often determined by context, but
occasionally needs to be set explicitly. See the "Notes" section
of this face's manpage for more details.
ACTIONS
find - Retrieve a single CSR.
SYNOPSIS
puppet certificate_request find [--terminus _TERMINUS] [--extra
HASH] [host]
DESCRIPTION
Retrieve a single CSR.
RETURNS
A single certificate request. When used from the Ruby API,
returns a Puppet::SSL::CertificateRequest object.
Defaults to the current nodes certname.
info - Print the default terminus class for this face.
SYNOPSIS
puppet certificate_request info [--terminus _TERMINUS] [--extra
HASH]
DESCRIPTION
Prints the default terminus class for this subcommand. Note that
different run modes may have different default termini; when in
doubt, specify the run mode with the '--run_mode' option.
save - API only: submit a certificate signing request.
SYNOPSIS
puppet certificate_request save [--terminus _TERMINUS] [--extra
HASH] x509_CSR
DESCRIPTION
API only: create or overwrite an object. As the Faces framework
does not currently accept data from STDIN, save actions cannot
currently be invoked from the command line.
search - Retrieve all outstanding CSRs.
SYNOPSIS
puppet certificate_request search [--terminus _TERMINUS]
[--extra HASH] dummy_text
DESCRIPTION
Retrieve all outstanding CSRs.
RETURNS
A list of certificate requests. When used from the Ruby API,
returns an array of Puppet::SSL::CertificateRequest objects.
NOTES
Although this action always returns all CSRs, it requires a
dummy search key; this is a known bug.
EXAMPLES
find
Retrieve a single CSR from the puppet master's CA:
$ puppet certificate_request find somenode.puppetlabs.lan --terminus
rest
search
Retrieve all CSRs from the local CA (similar to 'puppet cert list'):
$ puppet certificate_request search x --terminus ca
