Chapter 16. Key Manager Service Command-line Client (Technology Preview)

Note
The OpenStack Key Manager service is available in this release as a Technology Preview, and therefore is not fully supported by Red Hat. It should only be used for testing, and should not be deployed in a production environment. For more information about Technology Preview features, see Scope of Coverage Details.
The barbican client is the command-line interface (CLI) for the Key Manager API and its extensions. This chapter documents barbican version 4.1.0.
