Add your CA to Java

Anchor
CA CA

Taken and adapted from: Adding a certificate authority to the Java runtime

If your wave server is running with SSL and you signed your ssl certificate with your own CA, you should add that CA to Java’s trusted list of CAs. Otherwise the internal bots, such as the passwd bot, and scripts, such as the export script, might not work.

Before you start you will need your CAs public certificate which should be in .pem format.

Type the following command: keytool -import -trustcacerts -file <path to CA key> -alias honet -keystore $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts
It will then ask you for a password, the default is: changeit

Changing your Avatar

The avatars used in wave are served from Gravatar. This server creates an image based on the hash of an email address. For Wave the adress <username>@<domain> is being hashed and sent to Gravatar for the Avatar creation. You can then sign up to Gravatar to change the image. This will cause your avatar to instantly change on all sites that use Gravatar.

After the initial creation you are able to add more emails to the Gravator, however Gravatar will send a confirmation email to each of these addresses with a link to be clicked. This becomes an issue because a wave adress s not an email address. This can be solved by setting up an Email server temporarily to receive the confirmation links.

On Debian this is as simple as running apt-get install postfix.

During the installation, you’ll be asked for some things. Tell it to run on the internet (and not just locally). It is very important that you tell it your waves domain name when asked for it. You should have a functioning email server now running. To make sure it is working we add a unix user with the same name as your wave account: useradd -m -d /home/<username> -s /bin/bash <username>

Now go to Gravatar, click on “My account” and then “Add an Email Address”. Type in <username>@<wavedomain>. The email will appear in /var/mail/<username>. Use cat, less or another text editor to view the email.
