ganeti-rapi(8) Ganeti | Version @GANETI_VERSION@

================================================

Name

----

ganeti-rapi - Ganeti remote API daemon

Synopsis

--------

**ganeti-rapi** [-d] [-f] [\--no-ssl] [-K *SSL_KEY_FILE*] [-C

*SSL_CERT_FILE*]

DESCRIPTION

-----------

**ganeti-rapi** is the daemon providing a remote API for Ganeti

clusters.

It is automatically started on the master node, and by default it

uses SSL encryption. This can be disabled by passing the

``--no-ssl`` option, or alternatively the certificate used can be

changed via the ``-C`` option and the key via the ``-K`` option.

The daemon will listen to the "ganeti-rapi" tcp port, as listed in the

system services database, or if not defined, to port 5080 by default.

See the *Ganeti remote API* documentation for further information.

Requests are logged to ``@LOCALSTATEDIR@/log/ganeti/rapi-daemon.log``,

in the same format as for the node and master daemon.

ACCESS CONTROLS

---------------

Most query operations are allowed without authentication. Only the

modification operations require authentication, in the form of basic

authentication.

The users and their rights are defined in the

``@LOCALSTATEDIR@/lib/ganeti/rapi/users`` file. Format of this file is

described in the Ganeti documentation (``rapi.html``).
