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
  • 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).
