Hi all, As part of the Developer database project we are going to be having an email gateway that allows modification of many of the fields based on signed messages. To test the basic setup of this I have setup an address called [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If you send a pgp signed email to that address you will receive a response like I have included below indicating your public ldap record. In future adresses will be provided to allow you to reset a lost password via pgp signed email, change some fields and maybe a few other things as they come up. How the service works is it accepts the signed message and feeds it through GPG. GPG then tells it who signed it which is then used to determine which LDAP record to use. It then connects to the database and sends the text message back from it. The ping address ignores the content of the mail, others will require a particular format. The response will be sent instantly. New for our PGP type services is a replay cache. Particularly for things like changing passwords you don't want someone re-sending your messages so the server protects against this. It should never accept the same message twice - please test this :> Part of that also means your clock will have to be accurate to at least one week. Since it uses GPG it will accept basically any signature you throw at it, including the DSA ones (a GPG key). You can email me if there is some [important] incorrect information I'll update things by hand for the moment.
