1 ganeti-rapi(8) Ganeti | Version @GANETI_VERSION@
2 ================================================
7 ganeti-rapi - Ganeti remote API daemon
12 | **ganeti-rapi** [-d] [-f] [\--no-ssl] [-K *SSL_KEY_FILE*]
13 | [-C *SSL_CERT_FILE*] [\--require-authentication]
18 **ganeti-rapi** is the daemon providing a remote API for Ganeti
21 It is automatically started on the master node, and by default it
22 uses SSL encryption. This can be disabled by passing the
23 ``--no-ssl`` option, or alternatively the certificate used can be
24 changed via the ``-C`` option and the key via the ``-K`` option.
26 The daemon will listen to the "ganeti-rapi" TCP port, as listed in the
27 system services database, or if not defined, to port 5080 by default.
29 See the *Ganeti remote API* documentation for further information.
31 Requests are logged to ``@LOCALSTATEDIR@/log/ganeti/rapi-daemon.log``,
32 in the same format as for the node and master daemon.
37 Most query operations are allowed without authentication. Only the
38 modification operations require authentication, in the form of basic
39 authentication. Specify the ``--require-authentication`` command line
40 flag to always require authentication.
42 The users and their rights are defined in the
43 ``@LOCALSTATEDIR@/lib/ganeti/rapi/users`` file. The format of this file
44 is described in the Ganeti documentation (``rapi.html``).
