Encrypting a Set of Files Using a PGP Encrypt Task
Perform the following steps to encrypt a set of files using a PGP Encrypt Task:
From within the Project Designer page, expand the File Encryption folder in the Component Library, and then drag the PGP Encrypt task to the Project Outline.
On the
Basic
tab of PGP Encrypt Task, specify the following attributes:
Select the Key Ring that contains the OpenPGP keys.
For the Input Files Variable attribute, specify the file list variable that contains a list of files to encrypt and sign.
For the Output Directory attribute, specify the directory to place the encrypted files. If you leave the field blank, the encrypted file is created in the same directory as the input file.
To add a public key to encrypt the file with, click the
Add
button and choose
Add a Public Key
option from the menu.
To additionally sign the file, select the PGP Encrypt task by clicking it in the project outline.
Note: Perform this step only if your trading partner requires digital signatures.
Click the
Add
button and choose Add a Secret Key from the context menu.
Click the
button to open the PGP Key Chooser and select the private key.
Specify a passphrase for your private key. This is the passphrase you used when you first created your key pair.
