GnuPG keyring settings

If you have ssh access to the web server and have used it to generate the keys, there is no need to upload them. Configure GnuPG settings and the module will automatically find and use the public and private keys. If you have generated the keys elsewhere, you can use the 'Install keypair' section.

Before uploading the keys please set 0777 permissions for the directory containing the two key files pubring.gpg and secring.gpg (by default the files get put in your home directory in a directory called .gnupg.) and 0666 the files inside it. After the keys have been uploaded (if necessary) to the server and you have made sure that the module is configured and operates correctly, change the permissions to 0755 and 0644 accordingly.

Use the 'Install keypair' section: click 'Browse', locate the necessary files and click 'Upload'.

After you have uploaded your keypair, it is displayed on the module configuration page:

To remove the keys click 'Delete keypair(s)'. Remember that all the encrypted data will be unavailable after you delete the keypair used to encrypt it. Make sure you decrypt the data before deleting the keys.
