knife.rb either in your chef repository's .chef directory, or ~/.chef. My company-specific file looks something like this:
current_dir = File.dirname(FILE)
log_level :info
log_location STDOUT
node_name "chefusername"
client_key "#{current_dir}/chefusername.pem"
validation_client_name "org-validator"
validation_key "#{current_dir}/org-validator.pem"
chef_server_url "Sign In - Chef Manage"
cookbook_path ["#{current_dir}/../cookbooks"]
encrypted_data_bag_secret "#{current_dir}/encrypted_data_bag_secret"
knife[:sort_status_reverse] = true
knife[:vsphere_host] = "vsphere-hostname.example.com"
knife[:vsphere_user] = "username"
knife[:vsphere_pass] = "dat password"
knife[:vsphere_dc] = "OrgName"
knife[:vsphere_insecure] = false # require valid SSL certificates, use true
# if using self-signed certificates that aren't
# trusted in your local cacert.pem

the chef server to use, and where to specify the pem validation files. Where
does that get set?
The first half of the configuration is from the wiki (http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Knife) and the vsphere plugin stuff is documented on its github repo (GitHub - chef/knife-vsphere: Chef knife plug-in for VMware vSphere)
