  • 1.  Transfer of a DH/DSS Key to the Netshare Universal server

    Posted Nov 15, 2011 02:15 PM

    Hi everybody,

    Could you confirm that with the earlier versions of PGP Desktop it is no more possible to create DH/DSS key pairs (my current PGP Desktop version is 10.1.2).

    We succeeded with the PGP Desktop version 9 some monthes ago.

    As I didn't succeed with my new PGP Desktop, I created a DH/DSS key pair with GPG and imported it in PGP Desktop.

    The DH/DSS key pair is displayed with a red coloured border where my regular RSA key pair is blue bordered. Is the colour linked with the type of key ?

    Now the real question : How is it possible to upload or transfer my new DH/DSS key pair to the Netshare Universal Server ? Just Synchronize while right click on the key doesn't work.

    Best regards,

    Didier.

    Unless you are in a PGP Universal managed environment where it has been disabled, you can still generate a DH/DSS key - On the second screen of the PGP Key Generation Assistant, hit the Advanced button.  You are correct about red being associated with DH/DSS and blue with RSA keys.

    Sorry I can't offer help on the synching question!

    Seems to be PGP 5 or lower cannot works with Diffie-Hellman/DSS.

    Upload your key using export/import process.

    PGP started using DH/DSS keys with version 5.0.  All subsequent versions have also supported DH/DSS, but current versions default to using v4 RSA keys.

    Dear all,

    I found the answer to my question :

    Now the real question : How is it possible to upload or transfer my new DH/DSS key pair to the Netshare Universal Server ? Just Synchronize while right click on the key doesn't work.

    Once I have imported the "file.gpg" with my key pair in PGP Desktop, I followed the steps below to transfer it to the Netshare Universal Server:

    - /Tools/Options

    - Tab "Advanced"

    - "Reinitialise the key" in the box "PGP Universal Server"

    - Chose in the private keys the one I want to upload (in my case the DH/DSS one made with GPG and imported in PGP)

    - Enter the five answers to selected questions to be able to retrieve the key passphrase

    Thats it.

    Didier.
