Eric Paris Jan 2015

## NAME

kubeadm init phase certs front-proxy-client - Generate the certificate for the front proxy client

## SYNOPSIS

**kubeadm init phase certs front-proxy-client** \[OPTIONS\]

## DESCRIPTION

Generate the certificate for the front proxy client, and save them into front-proxy-client.crt and front-proxy-client.key files.

If both files already exist, kubeadm skips the generation step and existing files will be used.

## OPTIONS

**--cert-dir**="/etc/kubernetes/pki"\
 	The path where to save and store the certificates.

**--config**=""\
 	Path to a kubeadm configuration file.

**--dry-run**=false\
 	Don't apply any changes; just output what would be done.

**--kubernetes-version**="stable-1"\
 	Choose a specific Kubernetes version for the control plane.

## OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS

**--rootfs**=""\
 	The path to the 'real' host root filesystem. This will cause kubeadm to chroot into the provided path.

**--version**=false\
 	\--version, --version=raw prints version information and quits; --version=vX.Y.Z... sets the reported version
