</dl>
<p>Create a configuration file for knife. This will prompt for values to
enter into the file. Default values are listed in square brackets if no
other entry is typed. See <strong>knife</strong>(1) for a description of
configuration options.</p>
<p><strong>knife configure client</strong> <em>directory</em></p>
<p>Read the <em>knife.rb</em> config file and generate a config file suitable for
use in <em>/etc/chef/client.rb</em> and copy the validation certificate into
the specified <em>directory</em>.</p>
<h2 id="EXAMPLES">EXAMPLES</h2>
<ul>
<li><p>On a freshly installed Chef Server, use <em>knife configure -i</em> to
create an administrator and knife configuration file. Leave the
field blank to accept the default value. On most systems, the
default values are acceptable.</p>
<p>user@host$ knife configure -i<br />
Please enter the chef server URL: [http://localhost:4000]<br />
Please enter a clientname for the new client: [username]<br />
Please enter the existing admin clientname: [chef-webui]<br />
Please enter the location of the existing admin client's private key: [/etc/chef/webui.pem]<br />
Please enter the validation clientname: [chef-validator]<br />
Please enter the location of the validation key: [/etc/chef/validation.pem]<br />
Please enter the path to a chef repository (or leave blank):<br />
Creating initial API user...<br />
Created (or updated) client[username]<br />
Configuration file written to /home/username/.chef/knife.rb</p>
<p>This creates a new administrator client named <em>username</em>, writes
a configuration file to <em>/home/username/.chef/knife.rb</em>, and the
private key to <em>/home/username/.chef/username.pem</em>. The
configuration file and private key may be copied to another system
to facilitate administration of the Chef Server from a remote
system. Depending on the value given for the Chef Server URL, you
may need to modify that setting after copying to a remote host.</p></li>
