Ground Control would also like to be able to set them. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to allow setting of authentication tokens through the API, though.

This is actually becoming a more urgent issue, since Launchpad's recent change to its login methods have resulted in bug 527978.

didrocks: are you planning to implement solely read-only parameters?

wgrant: From a user standpoint, shouldn't ssh keys be covered by "private data" that you give API applications access to? What better way should this be handled?

Luke, I don't think so. If I grant an application access to private data, I can still later revoke all of its access with a couple of click. If that privilege level also allows the application to empower additional authentication tokens (SSH keys, OpenPGP keys, OAuth tokens, for example), I can no longer do that. A malicious application becomes much harder to stop.

FYI, my ssh key branch is now merged in trunk thanks to Michael Hudson. Not sure when we can see it in +apidoc on edge…
