Figure 9-8. Save the validation key and Knife configuration file
Because we registered with the username “misheska” and the organization “learningchef,”
our .chef directory contains the following:
▪ misheska.pem
▪ learningchef-validator.pem
▪ knife.rb
The <username>.pem file is a unique identifier used to authenticate you against Chef Server.
This should be treated like a password—do not share it with anyone and do not alter the con-
tents of the file.
