Don't be afraid that you need to re-do your configuration. Key transformation is
handled, as always, by our migration scripts, so this will be a smooth transition
for you!

+Key Generation
+==============
+
+Certificate Authority (CA)
+--------------------------
+
+VyOS now also has the ability to create CAs, keys, Diffie-Hellman and other
+keypairs from an easy to access operational level command.
+
+.. opcmd:: generate pki ca
+
+ Create a new :abbr:`CA (Certificate Authority)` and output the CAs public and
+ private key on the console.
+
+.. opcmd:: generate pki ca install <name>
+
+ Create a new :abbr:`CA (Certificate Authority)` and output the CAs public and
+ private key on the console.
+
+ .. include:: pki_cli_import_help.txt
+
+.. opcmd:: generate pki ca sign <ca-name>
+
+ Create a new subordinate :abbr:`CA (Certificate Authority)` and sign it using
+ the private key referenced by `ca-name`.
+
+.. opcmd:: generate pki ca sign <name> install
+
+ Create a new subordinate :abbr:`CA (Certificate Authority)` and sign it using
+ the private key referenced by `name`.
+
+ .. include:: pki_cli_import_help.txt
+
+Certificates
+------------
+
+.. opcmd:: generate pki certificate
+
+ Create a new public/private keypair and output the certificate on the console.
+
+.. opcmd:: generate pki certificate install <name>
+
+ Create a new public/private keypair and output the certificate on the console.
+
+ .. include:: pki_cli_import_help.txt
+
+.. opcmd:: generate pki certificate self-signed
+
+ Create a new self-signed certificate. The public/private is then shown on the
+ console.
+
+.. opcmd:: generate pki certificate self-signed install <name>
+
+ Create a new self-signed certificate. The public/private is then shown on the
+ console.
+
+ .. include:: pki_cli_import_help.txt
+
+.. opcmd:: generate pki certificate sign <ca-name>
+
+ Create a new public/private keypair which is signed by the CA referenced by
+ `ca-name`. The signed certificate is then output to the console.
+
+.. opcmd:: generate pki certificate sign <ca-name> install <name>
+
+ Create a new public/private keypair which is signed by the CA referenced by
+ `ca-name`. The signed certificate is then output to the console.
+
+ .. include:: pki_cli_import_help.txt
+
+Diffie-Hellman parameters
+-------------------------
+
+.. opcmd:: generate pki dh
+
+ Generate a new set of :abbr:`DH (Diffie-Hellman)` parameters. The key size
+ is requested by the CLI and defaults to 2048 bit.
+
+ The generated parameters are then output to the console.
+
+.. opcmd:: generate pki dh install <name>
+
+ Generate a new set of :abbr:`DH (Diffie-Hellman)` parameters. The key size
+ is requested by the CLI and defaults to 2048 bit.
+
+ .. include:: pki_cli_import_help.txt
+
+OpenVPN
+-------
+
+.. opcmd:: generate pki openvpn shared-secret
+
+ Genearate a new OpenVPN shared secret.
+
+

+
+Operation
+=========
+
+VyOS operational mode commands are not only available for generating keys but
+also to display them.
+
+.. opcmd:: show pki ca
+
+ Show a list of installed :abbr:`CA (Certificate Authority)` certificates.
