new API key for Filecoin Lotus node

197 views Asked by At

I'm trying to generate a new API-KEY for a Lotus node (existing one may have been compromised), but when I run lotus auth create-token --perm read it simply returns the existing key. The docs seem to suggest there is also an authnew command, but lotus authnew create-token --perm read throws an error "No help topic for 'authnew'". Does anyone know how to generate a new api key, assuming this is possible? Thanks so much for any assistance!

edit: it looks like lotus auth create-token --perm read just generates a key from the value in ~/.lotus/token, so the real question may be how to refresh or update this value...

try to use:

lotus auth create-token --perm read

I guess you should change your token to use those perms
