  • 1.  How do I programatically change the keyring location

    Posted Jun 01, 2015 08:02 AM

    Hello,

    We use folder redirection and users keyring location is in which "my documents" points to:-

    \\server1\locales\Wilmslow\myname\My Documents\PGP\pubring.pkr

    We are moving all the user data to antoher server and I need to know is there a way to programatically change the keyrings location to the new server rather than having to go to each user and navigating the pgp keyring properties. eg a command line or variable?

    \\server2\locales\Wilmslow\myname\My Documents\PGP\pubring.pkr

    PGP WDE, Version 10.2.0 (Build 2599)

    Cheers,

    Dave

    Hi Ashy,

    You can Set the Home directory using the command line and Below is an article that talks about HOW TO: Set the PGP_HOME_DIR variable for PGP Command Line

    https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH149020.html

    Example:

    pgp --license-authorize --license-name "Acme Corp" --license-organization "Acme Corp" --license-number "DTRE3-DFJK3-34D03-DJ23K-DK2LD-23D" --license-email "bob@acme.com" --home-dir C:\PGPHOME

     Please let me know if this is what you are looking for, and/or if you need any further information.

    I don't have the command line version so I can't do the "pgp.exe" commands. However your answer pointed me to the pgpprefs.xml stored in the AppData\Roaming\PGP Corporation\PGP section of a users profile. Iwas able to modify this to point to the new location and sorted my problem programatically.

    Thanks,
