Description Garth Mollett 2013-10-22 02:09:45 EDT

Dominic Cleal reports:

/etc/pki/tls/private/katello-node.key is created in the apache::certs class in node-installer when a child Pulp node is deployed.

It contains the private key for the node, that's normally kept in files with 0600 permissions.
