[chef] chef basics after installation: validation.pem and webui.pem

[Till Brinkmann < >]

Hi chef-list,
after I successful finished the bootstrap installation on debian 6.0.3 I´m trying to configure the command line client. 

First step on chef-wiki is to provide the certificates validation.pem and webui.pem from /etc/chef......

I´m searched the hole hard disk without a positive match of validation and web.pem.

I´m not very familiar with runit but searching the web I think server api is up and running.

#>sv s /etc/sv/chef-server
run: /etc/sv/chef-server: (pid 7138) 0s; run: log: (pid 1275) 1702s
.. other chef components 
run: /etc/sv/chef-server-webui/: (pid 7155) 1s; run: log: (pid 1281) 1707s
run: /etc/sv/chef-expander/: (pid 1280) 1710s; run: log: (pid 1279) 1710s
run: /etc/sv/chef-solr/: (pid 1278) 1713s; run: log: (pid 1277) 1713s

Q: Why does server-api does not create validation.pem and webui.pem ?

May corresponding to that I´m not sure but does after the installation of chef the system have to provide open ports for webaccess ?
