.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
Salt\-key executes simple management of Salt server public keys used for
authentication.
.sp
On initial connection, a Salt minion sends its public key to the Salt
master. 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.

.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

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.
