KNIFE-CLIENT(1) Chef Manual KNIFE-CLIENT(1)NAMEknife-client - Manage Chef API ClientsSYNOPSISknife client sub-command (options) SUB-COMMANDS Client subcommands follow a basic create, read, update, delete (CRUD) pattern. The Following subcommands are available:BULK DELETEknife client bulk delete regex (options) Delete clients where the client name matches the regular expression regex on the Chef Server. The regular expression should be given as a quoted string, and not surrounded by forward slashes.CREATEknife client create client name (options) -a, --admin Create the client as an admin -f, --file FILE Write the key to a file Create a new client. This generates an RSA keypair. The private key will be displayed on STDOUT or written to the named file. The public half will be stored on the Server. For chef-client systems, the private key should be copied to the system as /etc/chef/client.pem. Admin clients should be created for users that will use knife to access the API as an administrator. The private key will generally be copied to ~/.chef/client\_name.pem and referenced in the knife.rb configuration file.DELETEknife client delete client name (options) Deletes a registered client.EDITclient edit client name (options) Edit a registered client.LISTclient list (options) -w, --with-uri Show corresponding URIs List all registered clients.REREGISTERclient reregister client name (options) -f, --file FILE Write the key to a file Regenerate the RSA keypair for a client. The public half will be stored on the server and the private key displayed on STDOUT or written to the named file. This operation will invalidate the previous keypair used by the client, preventing it from authenticating with the Chef Server. Use care when reregistering the validator client.SHOWclient show client name (options) -a, --attribute ATTR Show only one attribute Show a client. Output format is determined by the --format option.DESCRIPTIONClients are identities used for communication with the Chef Server API, roughly equivalent to user accounts on the Chef Server, except that clients only communicate with the Chef Server API and are authenticated via request signatures. In the typical case, there will be one client object on the server for each node, and the corresponding client and node will have identical names. In the Chef authorization model, there is one special client, the "validator", which is authorized to create new non-administrative clients but has minimal privileges otherwise. This identity is used as a sort of "guest account" to create a client identity when initially setting up a host for management with Chef.SEE ALSOknife-node(1)AUTHORChef was written by Adam Jacob adam@opscode.com with many contributions from the community.DOCUMENTATIONThis manual page was written by Joshua Timberman joshua@opscode.com.
