PGP Sign Task Fields

The PGP Sign task embeds a digital signature in the file without encrypting it.

The following table describes the fields in the

Basic Tab

of a PGP Sign Task:

Field	Description
Label	Specify a label for the task.
OpenPGP Key Ring	Select a pre-configured OpenPGP key ring from the drop-down list.
Input File	Specify the path and file name of the file to be signed.
Input Files Variable	Specify the name of a variable of type File List that contains the files to sign. For example, ${variableName}
Output File	Specify the path and file name of the signed output file. This is valid only if you are signing a single file.
Output Directory	Specify the directory where the signed files should be saved.
When Output File Exists	Specify the action to take when the output file already exists. Default is rename. The default value changes the destination file name to a new name. Therefore, the existing file does not change.

The following table describes the fields in the

Advanced Tab

of a PGP Sign Task:

Field	Description
Armor Output Files	Specify whether you want to armor the files when encrypting. Armoring converts the encrypted files into ASCII format using Base64 encoding. This makes the encrypted files safe for mailing, but about 33 percent larger. Default is false.
Compress Output Files	Specify whether you want to compress the files during encryption. Compressing the files results in smaller output files. Default is true.
User Version3 Signature	Specify whether you want to sign the files using version 3 signatures. Default is false. By default, the files are signed using version 4 signatures. This attribute is provided for compatibility with older PGP softwares.
File Name Prefix	Specify a string to attach at the beginning of the signed file names.
File Name Suffix	Specify a string to attach at the end of the signed file names.

The following table describes the fields in the

Algorithms Tab

of a PGP Sign Task:

Field	Description
Hash Algorithm	Specify the hash algorithm to use. The default value is automatically determined from the key.
Compression Algorithm	Specify the compression algorithm to use. The default value is automatically determined from the key.

The following table describes the fields in the

Output Variables Tab

of a PGP Sign Task:

Field	Description
Output Files Variable	You can specify the name of a variable that contains the verified files. The variable is of type File List and can be used in subsequent tasks that accept a File List input variable. The variable is created if it does not exist.
Processed Input Files Variable	You can specify the name of a variable that contains the signed input files. The variable is of type File List and can be used in subsequent tasks that accept a File List input variable. The variable is created if it does not exist.
Secret Key Ring	Specify the secret key ring that contains your secret key. Specify the secret key ring only if no PGP key ring resource was specified or if you need to override the secret key ring that you specified in the PGP key ring resource.

The following table describes the fields in the

Control Tab

of a PGP Sign Task:

Field	Description
Version	The version of the task.
Log Level	Specify the level of logging to use while executing this task. You can select silent , normal , verbose , or debug . The default value is inherited from the parent module.
Execute Only If	Specify the secret key ring that contains the sender's public keys. Specify the secret key ring only if no PGP key ring resource was specified or if you need to override the secret key ring that you specified in the PGP key ring resource.
Disabled	Whether the task is disabled. Default is false.

The following table describes the fields in the

On ErrorTab

of a PGP Sign Task:

Field	Description
On Error	Specify the action to take when the task errors out. You can select abort , continue , call:[module] , or setVariable:[name]=[value] . When you select call:[module] , replace [module] with the name of the module in the project, for example, call:ErrorModule . When you select setVariable:[name]=[value] , replace [name] with a variable name and [value] with the variable value, for example, setVariable:error=true . The default value is inherited from the parent module.
