I have a foaf file (actually more than one), and trawling the web, it seems that I if I have a foaf file I can use it for WebID. I certainly don't want to create it on some other site - I need another account like I need a hole in the head - in fact, that is what is meant to be good about WebID!Surely it isn't "Just one last new account".Anyway, you can guess that a while later I still don't seem to have managed it. I have read any number of pages that give me "simple" guides to doing stuff, with links to things that should help, etc. (often dead). I confess that I was definitely looking for the easiest way - for example, downloading a program to run just doesn't seem the sort of thing I want to do for something that is meant to be simple.Sorry if that all sounds provocative, but I am a bit frustrated! So have I missed something here? Is there really not a page that will really work for me? I'm using Safari on a Mac, by the way. And I'm trying to login in to https://hugh.rww.io Best HughJust dropping this here for anyone that finds it useful.The following will get you a public key that you can use in your WebID profile, a certificate that you can use to digitally sign your emails as well as to authenticate from your Web browser:Create a public/private key as you would to SSH to networks: $ ssh-keygenAdd your URI and email in openssl.cnf, then create the certificate using your private key from above. Import from your email client:$ openssl req -x509 -new -config openssl.cnf -days 36500 -key id_rsa -out id_rsa.crtExport to PKCS #12 and import from your browser: $ openssl pkcs12 -export -in id_rsa.crt -inkey id_rsa -out id_rsa.p12 Copy/paste certificate signature value into your WebID profile. -Sarven http://csarven.ca/#i
Sarven,I've placed the tips above in an HTML document at <http://kingsley.idehen.net/DAV/home/kidehen/Public/Linked%20Data%20Documents/WebID-ACL-Demos/make-webid-profile-document-using-ssh-tools> .
As per recent my WebID, WebID+TLS, and ACL dogfooding post [1][2][3], the document is available Read-Only to the public while being available in Read-Write mode to identities than can be verified using WebID+TLS protocol :-)
