GnuPG settings

These are the general settings for correct GnuPG operation adjusted on the AdvancedSecurity module configuration page:

Home directory where GnuPG public and secret keys will be stored: If no value is specified, "GNUPGHOME" environment variable is used.

GnuPG executable path: If no value is specified, AdvancedSecurity module will attempt to find GnuPG executable in your system automatically. Your hosting provider might need to remove the open_basedir restriction for this directory path.

Example:

c:\gnupg\gpg.exe - for Windows

/usr/local/bin/gpg - for UNIX        

GnuPG user id: This is the user id your GnuPG public and secret keys were generated for.

Example: john smith <john_smith@example.com>        

Clear master password after login and logoff: select this check box to make sure that no one can use your master password. It will be deleted after you login and logoff. Leave the check box empty to remember master password.

If the option is disabled, the master password lifetime is determined by the session duration. If you are the only store admin and you are working with the orders logging in and off frequently, it might be a good idea to disable the option so you will not have to enter the master password after every login.

If you work with a partner or have other staff members to whom you would like to restrict access to customers credit card information, enable the option so only the person who knows the password can view decrypted data.

After you have entered all the settings, click 'Update' to be able to move to the 'GnuPG keyring settings' step.
