.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
Stand\-alone certificate authority. Capable of generating certificates
but mostly meant for signing certificate requests from puppet clients.

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
Because the puppetmasterd daemon defaults to not signing client
certificate requests, this script is available for signing outstanding
requests. It can be used to list outstanding requests and then either
sign them individually or sign all of them.
.SH OPTIONS
.sp
Note that any configuration parameter that\(aqs valid in the configuration
file is also a valid long argument. For example, \(aqssldir\(aq is a valid
configuration parameter, so you can specify \(aq\-\-ssldir <directory>\(aq as an
argument.
.sp
See the configuration file documentation at
\fI\%http://reductivelabs.com/projects/puppet/reference/configref.html\fP for
the full list of acceptable parameters. A commented list of all
configuration options can also be generated by running puppet cert with
\(aq\-\-genconfig\(aq.
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B all:         Operate on all items. Currently only makes sense with
.
\(aq\-\-sign\(aq, \(aq\-\-clean\(aq, or \(aq\-\-list\(aq.
.TP
.B digest:      Set the digest for fingerprinting (defaults to md5). Valid
.
values depends on your openssl and openssl ruby extension
version, but should contain at least md5, sha1, md2,
sha256.
.TP
.B clean:       Remove all files related to a host from puppet cert\(aqs
.
storage. This is useful when rebuilding hosts, since new
certificate signing requests will only be honored if puppet
cert does not have a copy of a signed certificate for that
host. The certificate of the host remains valid. If \(aq\-\-all\(aq
is specified then all host certificates, both signed and
unsigned, will be removed.
.UNINDENT
.sp
debug:       Enable full debugging.
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B generate:    Generate a certificate for a named client. A
.
certificate/keypair will be generated for each client named
on the command line.
.UNINDENT
.sp
help:        Print this help message
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B list:        List outstanding certificate requests. If \(aq\-\-all\(aq is
.
specified, signed certificates are also listed, prefixed by
\(aq+\(aq, and revoked or invalid certificates are prefixed by
\(aq\-\(aq (the verification outcome is printed in parenthesis).
.UNINDENT
.sp
print:       Print the full\-text version of a host\(aqs certificate.
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B fingerprint: Print the DIGEST (defaults to md5) fingerprint of a host\(aqs
.
certificate.
.TP
.B revoke:      Revoke the certificate of a client. The certificate can be
.
specified either by its serial number, given as a decimal
number or a hexadecimal number prefixed by \(aq0x\(aq, or by its
hostname. The certificate is revoked by adding it to the
Certificate Revocation List given by the \(aqcacrl\(aq config
parameter. Note that the puppetmasterd needs to be
restarted after revoking certificates.
.TP
.B sign:        Sign an outstanding certificate request. Unless \(aq\-\-all\(aq is
.
specified, hosts must be listed after all flags.
.UNINDENT
.sp
verbose:     Enable verbosity.
.sp
version:     Print the puppet version number and exit.
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B verify:      Verify the named certificate against the local CA
.
certificate.
