NAME

ca-dosign - ask user to sign PGP keys before mailing them


SYNOPSIS

ca-dosign


DESCRIPTION

ca-dosign is typically run by a ``normal'' user, having access to a private key. (All other ca-bot scripts are typically run under the special cabot account.)

ca-dosign is an interactive program. For every keyid in tosign/, it fetches public keys from an OpenPGP keyserver. It prints a list of uids, for which cabot successfully handled ID verification. It calls gpg(1) in interactive mode, to allow the user to perform the signing. It uploads the signed key (after getting an acknowledgement from the user). It sends an email to the key ID, holding the ascii-armored signed public key (again, after an acknowledgement).

Once completed, it moves all stuff in tosign/ to done/ .

ca-dosign is one of the ca-bot scripts, see ca-bot(7) for more information.
