[chef] knife configure (chef 12)

[idzzy < >]

Hello,

In chef 11,  when I executed “knife configure —initial” on workstation,

copied from below pem files from chef server.

-  /etc/chef-server/admin.pm

-  /etc/chef-server/chef-validator.pem

But In chef 12, there are not these pem files.

Which pem file can I use when I execute “knife configure —initial” on workstation?

[Chef Workstation]# knife configure --initial

Where should I put the config file? [/root/.chef/knife.rb]
