Lost Organization validator key

Hi everyone,

Is there any way to download the org-validator key from the cli? We have a few hundred nodes bootstrapped already and I don't want to recreate the key or recreate the org. The docs suggest that the only option is to recreate the key and was wondering if someone has a workaround for this.

thanks

The validator key is only needed for the first run of a machine, so existing ones won't be impacted by recreating it.

And no, the server only store the public key, the private key is not stored server side (security purpose of asymetric keys).
