knife.rb either in your chef repository's .chef directory, or ~/.chef. My 
company-specific file looks something like this: 

current_dir = File.dirname(__FILE__)
log_level                :info
log_location             STDOUT
node_name                "chefusername"
client_key               "#{current_dir}/chefusername.pem"
validation_client_name   "org-validator"
validation_key           "#{current_dir}/org-validator.pem"
chef_server_url          "https://api.opscode.com/organizations/orgname";
cookbook_path            ["#{current_dir}/../cookbooks"]
encrypted_data_bag_secret "#{current_dir}/encrypted_data_bag_secret"

knife[:sort_status_reverse] = true
knife[:vsphere_host] = "vsphere-hostname.example.com"
knife[:vsphere_user] = "username"
knife[:vsphere_pass] = "dat password"
knife[:vsphere_dc] = "OrgName"
knife[:vsphere_insecure] = false # require valid SSL certificates, use true 
                                 # if using self-signed certificates that 
aren't 
                                 # trusted in your local cacert.pem
