If its the server contacting the clients: The server should publish its
public-key within chef and the clients will fetch that on their
chef-run and configure it.

If its keys so the clients can contact the server: Create the key-pairs
on the client and publish the public keys in chef so the server can
search for them and add them to the local store.
