💅 NAME

okay so bestie, this is oc adm certificate approve — as in, approve a certificate signing request. that's literally it, that's the whole vibe ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS

oc adm certificate approve [OPTIONS]

🌸 DESCRIPTION

Approve a certificate signing request. slay, that's the job 💅

So here's the tea: oc adm certificate approve lets a cluster admin approve a certificate signing request (CSR). what does that even do? it tells a certificate signing controller "hey, go issue a certificate to the requester with the attributes they asked for in the CSR." like, you're the one hitting the green button 🟢✨

🚨 SECURITY NOTICE — bestie please read this one, i'm serious. depending on the requested attributes, that issued certificate can potentially grant a requester access to cluster resources, or let them authenticate as a requested identity. that's a whole lot of power in one lil CSR 😭 so before you approve anything, make sure you actually understand what the signed certificate can do. not me begging you to vibe check before you click. fr fr 🙏

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • --allow-missing-template-keys=true — if true, just ignore any errors in templates when a field or map key is missing in the template. but heads up: this only applies to 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 approved. yes, even then 👀
  • -k, --kustomize="" — process the kustomization directory. but bestie, this flag can't be used together with -f or -R — pick a lane 🚫
  • -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 wanna 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] ⭐

🦋 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS

  • --as-uid="" — UID to impersonate for the operation 🪪
