Hi all, let me start by saying I did a stupid thing. (It's how I learn!)
I failed to record my passphrase for a sigul signing key that I created (in a private instance). I had granted access to that key to another user who does know their passphrase for it. Is there anyway I can regain *my* access to the key? I am the sigul admin. I can make the other user a sigul admin, if that helps. Everything I try seems to wants my passphrase and/or I can't seem to find the correct course of action, if there even is one. As an admin it seems like this should be easily doable.
I figured this out. In case anyone else ever gets into a similar predicament, here's how I did it. It seems this could be much easier if the change-passphrase option took an optional --user argument so that an admin could affect someone else in one step. Instead, I had to do the following.
Assumptions: LUSER=me # who forgot his passphrase HELPER=them # who can be trusted as an admin and does remember their passphrase KEY=f24 # the key for which $LUSER forgot his passphrase
# Make the other (trusted) user an admin. sigul modify-user --admin yes $HELPER
# Make them a key administrator of that key. sigul modify-key-user --key-admin yes $HELPER $KEY
# Now have them reset my passphrase by revoking it and then granting it, # which will allow them to set an initial passphrase to something that's # known. sigul revoke-key-access $KEY $LUSER sigul grant-key-access $KEY $LUSER
