How To



A configuration file for the PGP Viewer for iOS includes connection information about your PGP Universal Server and proxy servers.

 
Using a configuration file will only require the PGP Viewer for iOS users to enter their LDAP account name and proxy server passwords.
 
 
The configuration file must be able to be opened by PGP Viewer for iOS, so it should be named
something similar to enroll.pgp.
 
 
The fields in the PGP Viewer for iOS configuration file are:
 
pgpStamp: The fully qualified domain name or IP address of your organization's
PGP Universal Server.

LDAPUserName: The username of the PGP Viewer for iOS user on your
Organization’s LDAP server.
 
useProxyServer: Enable/disable this value if your PGP Viewer for iOS users connect to your organization's PGP Universal Server via a proxy server.

proxyServerHostname: The fully qualified domain name or IP address of the proxy
server. This value is only needed if your users connect to your organization's PGP Universal Server via a proxy server.
 
proxyServerPort: The port number to use on the proxy server (if required).
 
proxyServerUsername: The username of the PGP Viewer for iOS user on the proxy server (if needed).
 
 
Note:Neither the LDAP account or proxy server passwords are stored in the configuration file.
 
To create a PGP Viewer iOS configuration file:
  1. Open a text editor such as Mac OS X TextEditor Windows Notepad.
  2. Copy and paste the example below into the text editor.
  3. Edit the following fields to match your PGP Universal Server and network configuration: 

     

    • pgpstamp - Type the hostname or IP Address for the PGP Universal Server e.g. keys.example.com or 168.192.32.32
    • LDAPUserName - Type the LDAP name for the user e.g. jake_h
    • useProxyServer – Set the value to <true> if using a proxy server or <false> if not using a proxy server.
    • proxyServerHostname – If using a proxy server, type the name or IP address of the server.
    • proxyServerPort – Type the port number to use on the proxy server if required.
    • proxyServerUsername – Type the username for the user on the proxy server if needed.
  4. Save the text file with a .pgp extension (e.g. enroll.pgp, jake_h.pgp).
  5.  Email the file as an attachment to the user and open the attachment on the apple iOS device.
  
NOTE: Replace all <string> values with the appropriate values for your environment.
