Where do I find my Weak Key for Rosetta@home? Seems in 2011, there was a mention of upgrading the server software to support them.

So how do I find it?

I spent some time a few months ago looking for the weak key without success; if you're looking for it for the purpose of attaching a computer to your account via the command-line interface, I suggest you just follow the

boinccmd --lookup_account URL email passwd
boinccmd --project_attach URL auth

path, as unsatisfyingly less-secure as that is.

Yes, I am looking for it for the purpose of attaching computers without having to give out the accounts username and password. Or main key which will let them change the accounts password.

Kind of thought this was a BOINC standard from years back.

I believe the weak keys were introduced after the server code was setup on R@h.

I have not worked with them much, but perhaps another way would be to use a BOINC account manager that connects to Rosetta.

I have not found the weak key yet, but if you would run the command line BOINC (boinc_client in Linux) on a trusted box, the strong key is to be found at

<authenticator>strong-key-is-a-bunch-of-alphanumeric-chars-here</authenticator>

in

/var/lib/boinc-client/account_boinc.bakerlab.org_rosetta.xml (on a Linux box).
