[chef] Re: Help to recovery chef-validator user with old keys

[Nic Grayson < >]

The validator is stored here on your chef-server /etc/chef/validation.pem

If you want to regenerate it you can do this:

$ ls -l /etc/chef/validation.pem

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1676 2011-07-14 11:44 /etc/chef/validation.pem

$ sudo rm /etc/chef/validation.pem

$ sudo /etc/init.d/chef-server restart

 * Restarting chef-server

 ~ Killing pid 10783 with INT

 ~ In 12051

   ...done.

$ ls -l /etc/chef/validation.pem

-rw------- 1 chef chef 1679 2011-07-14 11:55 /etc/chef/validation.pem

If you are on hosted chef you will need to regenerate it via the webUI.
