Managing Keys Editing your key E-Business Server adds the new user ID to your key. For information on displaying keys with their additional user IDs, see Display all user IDs associated with each key on page 29. To remove a user ID: 1 Enter the following on the command line: ebs --key-edit --remove-userid E-Business Server removes the user ID from your key. For information on displaying keys with their additional user IDs, see Display all user IDs associated with each key on page 29. Setting your primary user ID Occasionally, you may need to change your primary user ID (the default user ID); perhaps because you changed your name or your preferred email address. To set your default user ID: 1 Enter the following on the command line: ebs --key-edit --set-primary-userid E-Business Server prompts for your passphrase. 2 Type your passphrase, and hit Enter. E-Business Server sets the requested user ID as your primary user ID. For information on displaying keys with their additional user IDs, see Display all user IDs associated with each key on page 29. Changing your passphrase Your security is only as good as your passphrase. If you feel that your passphrase has been compromised, then you should change your passphrase immediately. To change your passphrase: 1 Enter the following on the command line: ebs --key-edit --change-passphrase E-Business Server prompts for your current passphrase. 2 Enter your current passphrase to gain access to the key, and hit Enter. E-Business Server prompts for your new passphrase. 3 Enter your new passphrase. 4 Enter your new passphrase again for confirmation. E-Business Server changes your passphrase. Editing trust options for your key Use the --key-edit option to edit trust options for a key on your keyring. You can turn off "implicit trust" for your own key pair, or you can edit a public key on your keyring, designating someone as a trusted introducer. If you designate someone a trusted introducer, then all keys validated by the trusted introducer are considered to be valid to you. This means that if you ever get a key from someone that has been signed by an individual whom you have designated as trustworthy, the key is considered valid even though you have not done the check yourself.
