OpenPGP Encryption/Decryption

You can configure EFT Server to use OpenPGP encryption for particular events. OpenPGP can be used with Server Events (the On Timer and On Rotate Log events), certain File System Events (File Upload, File Move, and File Rename), and a User Event (User Logout). To use this Action, the Site must be configured for OpenPGP and appropriate keys generated.

This Action applies only to the On Timer, On Rotate Log, User Logout, and File Upload events. This example uses the On File Upload event.

To set up EFT Server to use OpenPGP for particular Event Rules

  1. Follow the procedure in Creating Event Rules, or select the rule to which you want to add the Action.

  2. In the right pane, in the Actions list, click OpenPGP Encrypt, Encrypt + Sign, Decrypt.



    The Action appears in the Event in the Rule  pane.

  3. In the Rule pane, select either of the underlined elements (Encrypt or %FS.PATH%). The OpenPGP Encrypt/Decrypt dialog box appears.

  4. In the Choose action box, click the drop-down arrow to select Encrypt or Decrypt.

  5. If you designated a default key for the Site, that key is displayed in the Encrypt/Decrypt pane. If there is no default key, the right pane will be blank. Use the arrow icons to add or remove keys from the Encrypt/Decrypt pane between the OpenPGP Key List pane and the Encrypt/Decrypt pane, or double-click the key in the list.

  6. If you want the encrypted transmission signed, select the Sign using the following key check box. The default key is displayed. Use the drop-down menu to select a different key. (This option is not available for decryption.)

  7. In the File to process box, specify the file or folder to process. The default target file is selected. To change the selection, you can select a variable in the list or use actual file/folder names. Use the open icon to browse to a file or folder.

  8. Click OK to close the dialog box and apply the parameters.
