=====Overview=====
Salt works similar to puppet in a way that it has a master and a minion.

In order to configure the master and the minion. The minion needs to send request to the master, a key, and the master has to accept that key.
Furthermore, the master can be configured to accept keys only from certain minions.
In general, the configuration for:
  * Master: /etc/salt/master
  * Minion: /etc/salt/minion

Bear in mind, that these configuration files are YAML files, although they don't need the (---) at the beginning.
To indicate to where a minion to authenticate, we need to simply to set:

<code:bash>
master: saltmaster
</code>
In the /etc/salt/minion file
That will send request to the master. From master side we need to accept the key as follows:

<Code:bash>
$salt-key -A
</Code>

This will accept all keys and will ask you to confirm
