Issue #14323 has been updated by Kelsey Hightower. Assignee set to Dan Bode
Dan, So it seems that the `cert` command is an old style Puppet "application" and the `certificate` command is a Puppet Face. Both preform the same functions: create, list, and generally manage Puppet SSL certs. The `certificate` Face does not implement the entire `cert` application feature set; mainly it is unable to mimic puppet cert's "clean" option, and its "generate" action submits a CSR rather than creating a signed certificate. I'm not entirely sure if there are plans to deprecate the `cert` command in favor of the `certificate` Face, but it sounds like a good idea in the long run if it's possible. ---------------------------------------- Bug #14323: puppet cert list and puppet certificate are confusingly similar https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/14323#change-62052 Author: Dan Bode Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assignee: Dan Bode Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: Hi, I am not sure if this is a bug, but I found it confusing as a user. On a properly configured Puppet environment: I can list certificates by running <pre> > puppet cert list foobar (E2:46:19:52:16:59:F4:A2:7E:28:EC:8E:9B:FA:95:65) </pre> trying to do the same thing with puppet certificate results in a failure: <pre> > puppet certificate list err: The following options are required: ca_location err: Try 'puppet help certificate list' for usage </pre> Are these commands supposed to do the same thing? -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
