Purpose
Encrypt every file of the job with a given public key file in binary or ASCII mode. In typical installations, GnuPG will be used for this task.
Requirements
- OS4X Enterprise license
Configuration
- PGP/GnuPG executable (default: gpg): The executable of GnuPG or PGP. It must support the following command line parameters:
--recipient-file--encrypt--armor (when in ASCII mode)--verbose--batch--yes--homedir--output
- Recipient key file (PGP public key): Absolute path to the PGP/GnuPG key file of the recipient of the data. The format must be supported by the command line tool defined above.
- Encrypt as ASCII output (instead of binary): When enabled, the output file will contain ASCII characters (with file suffix "
.asc" added dynamically), otherwise the data will be created in binary more (with file suffix ".pgp" added dynamically).
Remarks
When using GnuPG instead of PGP, the typical filename suffix for binary encryption is ".gpg instead of ".pgp". This plugin enforces the output to obtain the suffix ".pgp" in both cases.
