-Monkeysphere Server Administrator README
-========================================
-
-FIXME: distinguish between publishing a new monkeysphere-enabled host
-key and accepting user identification via the web-of-trust.
-
-server service publication
---------------------------
-To publish a server host key:
-
- # monkeysphere-server gen-key
- # monkeysphere-server publish-key
-
-This will generate the key for server with the service URI
-(ssh://server.hostname). The server admin should now sign the server
-key so that people in the admin's web of trust can authenticate the
-server without manual host key checking:
-
- $ gpg --search ='ssh://server.hostname'
- $ gpg --sign-key ='ssh://server.hostname'
-
-
-Update OpenSSH configuration files
-----------------------------------
-
-To use the newly-generated host key for ssh connections, put the
-following line in /etc/ssh/sshd_config (be sure to remove references
-to any other key):
-
- HostKey /var/lib/monkeysphere/ssh_host_rsa_key
-
-FIXME: should we just suggest symlinks in the filesystem here instead?
-
-FIXME: What about DSA host keys? The SSH RFC seems to require that DSA be available, though OpenSSH will work without a DSA host key.
-
-To enable users to use the monkeysphere to authenticate against the
-web-of-trust, add this line to /etc/ssh/sshd_config (again, making
-sure that no other AuthorizedKeysFile directive exists):
-
- AuthorizedKeysFile /var/lib/monkeysphere/authorized_keys/%u
-
-MonkeySphere authorized_keys maintenance
-----------------------------------------
-
-A system can maintain monkeysphere authorized_keys files for it's
-users.
-
-For each user account on the server, the userids of people authorized
-to log into that account would be placed in:
-
- ~/.config/monkeysphere/authorized_user_ids
-
-However, in order for users to become authenticated, the server must
-determine that the user keys have "full" validity. This means that
-the server must fully trust at least one person whose signature on the
-connecting user's key would validate the user. This would generally be
-the server admin. If the server admin's keyid is XXXXXXXX, then on
-the server run:
-
- # monkeysphere-server add-identity-certifier XXXXXXXX
-
-To update the monkeysphere authorized_keys file for user "bob", the
-system would then run the following:
-
- # monkeysphere-server update-users bob
-
-To update the monkeysphere authorized_keys file for all users on the
-the system, run the same command with no arguments:
-
- # monkeysphere-server update-users
-
-You probably want to set up a regularly scheduled job (e.g. with cron)
-to take care of this regularly.
-
-FIXME: document other likely problems and troubleshooting techniques
