Synchronizing the OpenKeyServer

It can be interesting for an organisation to synchronize its keyserver with other ones in order to share the same content. This synchronization is done automatically by the OKS gateways and relies on a protocol based on email messages.

To synchronize your keyserver with another keyserver, just append a line to your gateways configuration files into the sync section:

[Sync]
Me     pgp-keys@<your-domain-name>
Site   pgp-keys@<first-domain-name>
Site   pgp-keys@<second-domain-name>
Site   <added-keyserver-email-address>

This sets your keyserver synchronization email address to pgp-keys@your.domain.name and make it synchronizing with the keyservers of first.domain.name, second.domain.name and added-keyserver-email-address domain name.

It is necessary to restart your gateways for changes to take effect.
