.INDENT 3.5

.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.

.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-c CONFIG_DIR, \-\-config\-dir=CONFIG_dir

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 Output Options
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-out
Pass in an alternative outputter to display the return of data. This

.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
Some outputters are formatted only for data returned from specific functions.
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.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
