Managing Keys Editing your key Adding and removing photo IDs You can attach a JPEG file containing a photo to your key. The photo must be in JPEG format. Any size image is allowed, but images larger than 120 pixels wide by 144 pixels tall are shrunk down to this size when displayed. Also, the larger the JPEG image, the larger the key will be. E-Business Server does not directly support viewing a photo ID, but you can view photo IDs when using other versions of E-Business Server or you can export the photo ID to a file and use a third-party JPEG viewer. Note: If a photo ID already exists on the key, then you must remove it before adding a new photo ID. See To remove a photo ID from your key: on page 36 for instructions. To add a photo ID to your key: 1 Enter the following on the command line: ebs --key-edit --add-photoid For example, you might enter: ebs --key-edit [email protected] --add-photoid /pictures/wilma.jpg 2 Enter your current passphrase to gain access to the key. E-Business Server adds the JPEG-formatted photo to your key. To see if the photo is present, check the key's details. For more information, see Getting more information about keys on page 29. You can also see if the photo is present by using the --extract-photoid option and viewing the resulting file. To remove a photo ID from your key: Note: If you have more than one photo on your key (which is not supported by current versions of E-Business Server), E-Business Server removes the most recently added photo. 1 Enter the following on the command line: ebs --key-edit --remove-photoid E-Business Server removes the JPEG-formatted photo from your key. To confirm that the photo is no longer present, check the key's details. For more information, see Getting more information about keys on page 29. To extract a photo ID to a file: 1 Enter the following on the command line: ebs --extract-photoid --output For example: ebs --extract-photoid jbond --output james.jpg E-Business Server extracts the photo ID belonging to jbond and copies it to the james.jpg file. If the output file already exists, then E-Business Server prompts you for confirmation to overwrite it. Revoking a key By revoking a key, you are telling people that the key should no longer be used. You should revoke a public key if you think that its corresponding private key has been compromised. To revoke a key, you need the private portion of the key and the passphrase. As a safeguard against the possibility of forgetting your passphrase or losing your private key, you might want to specify a designated revoker. For more information on specifying a designated revoker, see Adding a designated revoker to your key on page 35. Note: You cannot restore a revoked key. To revoke a key: 1 Ensure that the public portion of the key being revoked is on your keyring. E-Business Server™ 8.6 Product Guide 36
