Change OpenPGP Key Preferences

The preferences can be changed for the OpenPGP Key Manager within

Managed File Transfer

. For instance, if you are using different key rings than those supplied by

Managed File Transfer

, then you can set their locations here as the defaults. Or you can indicate the preferred algorithms to store in any newly created keys.

Follow the steps below to change the preferences:

Key Manager

role.

From the Encryption menu, click

OpenPGP Key Manager

item from the main menu bar.

Click the

Preferences

menu option in the tool bar.

If needed, specify the locations of the key rings to use as the default. These key rings will automatically be opened when launching the OpenPGP Key Manager.

If needed, select the algorithms and change their orders. These selected algorithms will be stored with any new public keys that are created. Generally you should not have to change these algorithms, unless your trading partner is using an older version of PGP software and it does not recognize your public key.

Click the

Save

button to apply any changes.

It is recommended to keep AES128, AES192 and AES256 at the top of the list of selected encryption algorithms, as they are stronger than the other algorithms.
