basic-curl.md

this is on vagrant so this is exactly what i'm doing. passwords/tokens aren't actually used anywhere other then my vagrant machines

curl http://192.168.50.10:8000/login \
    -H "Accept: application/json" \
    -H "Content-type: application/json" \
    -d '{ "username": "austin", "password":"austin", "eauth":"pam"}'

token=0c6bcdc00716a3fc5b4f46ded424423d4e762e0c
curl http://192.168.50.10:8000/keys \
    -H "Accept: application/json" \
    -H "Content-type: application/json"  \
    -H "X-Auth-Token: 0c6bcdc00716a3fc5b4f46ded424423d4e762e0c" \
    -d '{ "mid": "xxxxxx" }'

Can you provide a repo with the vagrant file and all the other required files? That would make it easier to run this Vagrantfile.

@UtahDave check https://github.com/austinpapp/salt-key-api

didnt get a chance to add the manual steps in but

useradd austin
passwd austin
yum install salt-api

i think that would cover it.
