🎀 NAME

kubectl certificate deny — Deny a certificate signing request

(short, sweet, iconic. it does exactly one thing and it ate.)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS

kubectl certificate deny [OPTIONS]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION

Deny a certificate signing request.

kubectl certificate deny is the move a cluster admin pulls to deny a certificate signing request (CSR). Basically you're telling a certificate signing controller do NOT issue a certificate to this requester, no cap. It's giving "request denied, respectfully" 💀

---

💜 OPTIONS

• --allow-missing-template-keys=true — if this is true, any errors in templates when a field or map key is missing from the template just get ignored. heads up: this only applies to the golang and jsonpath output formats.
• -f, --filename=[] — filename, directory, or URL to files identifying the resource to update.
• --force=false — update the CSR even if it's already been denied. (yes, forcing it. main character energy, use responsibly 👀)
• -k, --kustomize="" — process the kustomization directory. lowkey important: this flag can't be used together with -f or -R.
• -o, --output="" — output format. one of: (json, yaml, kyaml, name, go-template, go-template-file, template, templatefile, jsonpath, jsonpath-as-json, jsonpath-file).
• -R, --recursive=false — process the directory used in -f, --filename recursively. super useful when you want to manage related manifests organized within the same directory 🗂️
• --show-managed-fields=false — if true, keep the managedFields when printing objects in JSON or YAML format.
• --template="" — template string or path to template file to use when -o=go-template, -o=go-template-file. the template format is golang templates [http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/#pkg-overview].
