root ➜ /workspace (main) $ salt-key
Accepted Keys:

Unaccepted Keys:
alma.salt.minion

Accept them individually via

salt-key -a <MINION_NAME>

or accept them all at once:

root ➜ /workspace (main) $ salt-key -y -A
The following keys are going to be accepted:
Unaccepted Keys:
alma.salt.minion
debian.salt.minion
suse.salt.minion
ubuntu.salt.minion
Key for minion alma.salt.minion accepted.
Key for minion debian.salt.minion accepted.
