Key servers
« on: February 04, 2011, 06:51:56 pm »
Hi,

I failed to enter and save key servers' addresses. Could you please list a few of them?

Greetings
Steven.

Hi esbe.

To test LDAP/LDAPS, you can try PGP's public server.

Protocol: LDAP
Name: PGP public sever
Host: keyserver.pgp.com

You can leave SSL enabled for LDAPS, or disable it for LDAP.

Clicking save should test the connection and add the server.

To test HKP, you can try MIT's public server.

Protocol: HKP
Name: MIT public sever
Host: pgp.mit.edu
Disable SSL

Hope that helps, if it doesn't please contact us.

Thanks,
Ernesto

Hi,

in this connection it would be extremely helpful, if you'd modify the keyserver search quit a bit, because actually you can't search for names and/or email addresses or have I overlooked anything?

Best regards from Germany

Hi Lucky.

What we refer to "User ID" is the name and email address combined.
So the search by "User ID" is indeed a search by name and email address.
Perhaps we need to rename "User ID" to "Name/Email"?

The amount of results returned is strictly dependent on how the server is configured.
For example, the PGP public server only returns one result at a time.
