1 [[meta title="Support multiple host names for monkeysphere-enabled servers"]]
3 Some monkeysphere-enabled hosts answer to multiple host names, but the
4 current `monkeysphere-server` only generates a single User ID
5 corresponding to a single hostname.
7 We should make it easier for machines with multiple names to create
8 multiple User IDs at `gen-key` time.
10 We should also make it easy to add new hostnames (and remove outdated
13 For example: `george.riseup.net` is now also known as
14 `monkeysphere.info`. It'd be nice to have a convenient way to add
15 that hostname to the key without mucking around with gpg directly.
19 So how do we imagine the behavior here? I assume that basically it
20 would just add/remove user ID's to/from the host key locally. I guess
21 we will continue to rely on the "publish-key" subcommand to actually
22 publish all changes to the keys.
28 I think [when we reorganize the `monkeysphere-server`
29 shortcuts](reorganize-monkeysphere-server-shortcuts) it'll make it
30 clearer what the right interface should be.
32 As for what should actually happen, i think that the server should
33 actively revoke old User IDs, rather than removing them. It should
34 probably prompt the administrator to re-publish the host key as well,
35 to ensure that the new User IDs are published.
