[UI, 2.1.3] MAAS API key name not exposed in the UI.

Hi Sandor,

MAAS API already have comments. They are only currently exposed in the API but not in the UI. I'm gonna change the bug for such.

I can't see any evidence of comments relating to SSH keys in the data supplied through the websocket or in the python handler. How can this be exposed to the UI?

Proposed design to add comment field: https://zpl.io/aNm0J1N

The comment is always the last part of public key. The websocket returns a short version of the public key separated by a ; with for the comment. The comment may be cropped see [1]

For example my public SSH key is

/+AMKZ0lK0LiU0j2Y6Vz4u8uGAFKOa6bfs7xL25z9wG7cdg6SLfuxoJVu1x+OklMfapLApuAPflkOM3BW3+L5BMqn7odbFuQv3UwDfNCOxoJgOJCfbzazkBvT8qDWsCfV0hgsC3fLrH2ptlbTmXI5RBgiR7OI2HkiA8Sy2CVeN1WMn+SuP7oadfqCj0Q11ycPnLwa9LhDrNOcXuMNexjGyQRg9HDKwbtkYCW8CI0ByHRZMFjuBGJb7sgePMUdox22HVMCZYX1qR6KroqE/R+HM4Ivz0oOPQPcRLjPvP4iEynN58HwVS7zJPGhfWQ3jN3+phrurNpvOQ2Jl2QNw== <email address hidden>

The websocket returns that as
ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAACA&hellip; <email address hidden>

I wonder if we should give something more useful such as the full key so users could copy it. Or do what github does and just show the fingerprint.

To clarify, this is about the API keys, and they have names, not comments. This is not about the SSH keys.

The UI is using YUI and parts of it is rendered by HTML templates which have access to the name in the Python objects, and part of it uses the MAAS rest API to add the token, which also supports passing in the name.

As far as I can see, there's no websocket API for dealing with tokens, so converting it to use angular would be more work. But extending the existing YUI widget and the template should be possible without any backend work.

FWIW, this is NOT about the comment in the SSH key field. This is about the
*name* of the API KEY.

Sorry - misnamed the wireframes! Here are some updated ones: https://zpl.io/aNm0J1N

The wireframes have a button to save the name of an api key. Is this possible? and if so how?

When I looked, it was possible. But it seems that I was looking at on old version of MAAS, that we still using YUI.

We'd need to add a new websocket method, which would be similar to user.delete_authorisation_token, except that it accepts a name as well and would call profile.modify_consumer_name(token_key, name)
