After some experience with Networking, both Moodle to Moodle and Moodle to Mahara it is apparent that the key swapping feature doesn't work. The Mahara guys have acknowledged this...

https://eduforge.org/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2227&group_id=176&atid=739

What I'd like to do is to have an option to increase the key lifespan from 28 days. This could either be a "hidden" option for config.php or an actual proper option on the Networking page.

I'm happy to sort this (it's a straightforward parameter in the mnet_generate_keypair() funtion in mnet/lib.php), but it needs to go into 1.9 and HEAD.

Thoughts?

Having a look at the Mahara thread, it seems this is the only viable short term fix until someone figures out how to handle the key swapping feature in a resilient way, isn't it?

Absolutely correct, yes.

Having same issue, can you let me know where you make the change to have the certificates not expire or expire more than 28 days later?

Thanks

Hi
The function
function mnet_generate_keypair($dn = null, $days=28)
in /mnet/lib.php
has that default value.

Just change it or modify the funtion call here
/mnet/environment.php
with the desired value

Hope it helps!
Cheers
