Hi listers,
I'm having trouble updating my expired PGP key in a CIphermail
instance. Here is what I did:
- My public key was expired, so I generated a new public key
with no expiration date. I tested it locally in Thunderbird: I
deleted my old public key; I imported the new one and tried to
send some encrypted emails. All fine.
- I uploaded my PGP key to our own PGP key server
(https://pgpkeys.icij.org) and made sure the new public key was
in place: I downloaded and checked the downloaded one, it was
the correct one without the expiration date.
- I logged in to our CIphermail instance, went to PGP area, and
searched for my old, expired key. It showed as expired, and I
deleted it. I verified that my key was no longer available in
Ciphermail.
- I went to the "Search keys" area, to download again my new key
from our PGP keyserver into CIphermail (our CIphermail is
configured with just one PGP keyserver: our private one).
- I located my new key, it showed the right one: recently
created and no expiration date. I imported it into Ciphermail.
- When I go again to the main PGP keys and search for my key, it
shows again my key as expired.
- If I click on "Download Public keys" link, the downloaded
public key is the _good_ one, without an expiration date.
So it seems I can't update my expired PGP key. It looks like
Ciphermail is somehow keeping my expiration date somewhere, and
ignoring the new "non-expiration" from the newly downloaded key,
even if I delete the old key and reimport the new one.
Any ideas?
J.
