On the puppet master: 

puppet cert generate workstation.example.org 

Then I copied the following from the puppet master to my workstation: 
The public and private keys for my workstation ( workstation-publickey.pem / 
workstation-privatekey.pem ) 
The certificate for my workstation ( workstation-cert.pem ) 
The public key for the puppet master ( puppetmaster-publickey.pem ) 

On my workstation, 

curl --insecure -H 'Accept: s' 
https://puppetmaster.example.org:8140/production/certificate/ca > 
curl-ca-bundle.crt 
cat puppetmaster-publickey.pem >> curl-ca-bundle.crt 

THEN !! 

curl --cert workstation-cert.pem \ 
--key workstation-cert.pem \ 
--cacert curl-ca-bundle.crt \ 
-H "Accept: yaml" 
https://puppetmaster.example.org:8140/dev/status/devnode001.example.org 

WORKED !! 

I am going to bundle up everything up to the "-H" into an alias.

Subject: [Puppet Users] How do I generate a certificate to use the REST API ? 



Using Puppet 3.x 

I want to tinker with the REST API, but other than basic stuff, all requests 
are denied. 
because there is no certificate between my workstation and the Puppet Master. 

How do I do this ?
