reproducer: mkdir tdata tor --PublishServerDescriptor 0 --orport 1234 --datadirectory tdata --list-fingerprint --quiet
(new signing key with default expiry created)
attempt to change (reduce) expiry: tor --PublishServerDescriptor 0 --orport 1234 --datadirectory tdata --SigningKeyLifetime "1 week" --list-fingerprint --quiet
expected result: key lifetime is reduced to 7 days actual result: key lifetime is not changed (remains at 1 month)
(invoking tor with --keygen causes the expected lifetime but can not be run non-interactively if keys do not exist)
So I reopened [2].
[1] https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2015-November/009959.html
[2] https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/17127 I think [2] is the wrong link? There's nothing about this in there. I think this is expected and correct behavior. If medium term signing key exists, and is sufficiently valid in the future for Tor, it won't try to automatically renew them. It will use the new SigningKeyLifetime value for the NEW keys, once the ones it already has are _about_ to expire and Tor _wants_ to generate new medium term signing key. If you already have medium term signing key valid 30 days in the future you can't replace it using the automated key generator in Tor (no manual --keygen). I think it should stay like this. If you want to change the lifetime of the medium term signing key with --orport, do a rm -rf ed25519_signing_* before that command. P.S. also if they master id key is not encrypted you can use --keygen in a non-interactive way afaik. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (MingW32) iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJWWZefAAoJEIN/pSyBJlsR3MkH/2NsRc9Ua22Mx4xDzvEJIU9C yNXgtabAD3w/UMHdgCC6q9dW2z7r+w97cPQ6ZBEZ34a98SPaM1HtUhvHG6/tM5wh M3vtWs+WdF72QNwfDKsXfbgg4HNdvKczsttuuIHMXEOhLk9+2ehKMqGw+WPn1Fst QNjN3Cup225m2wRc+n0EBaMUefQXhCfx6qQPnyjTi9wnCjNIpfhTRp3zzslObIcZ cteJaBP+nkxsoS81XA3M2M6HSCUdNeEq+IVjt7WgciOD4USfeJlEmijIldYbAGwW JFXihEsO6cIoaX3fOusjj7XIV5XaxeyfMFMC5g7Rnw3ueGYuCik82GP4UM+IXF8= =Yzi1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
