  • 1.  Create Self-Decrypting Archive Disabled

    Posted Sep 11, 2013 06:07 AM

    Good morning,

    I have recently been upgraded to Windows 7 and a change to PGP Desktop 10.2.0.

    I have managed to get everything working the way I need apart from one option to encrypt a file with SDA. I can see the option is there when I right click on the file, but it is disabled.

    I had a look through the help section and can see the following message:

    "Note: If you are using PGP Desktop in a PGP Universal Server-managed environment, PGP Zip SDA creation may be disabled."

    I believe we do use PGP Universal so I guess this is the reason, but is there any way the SDA can be enabled?

    Apologies if this is a stupid question but I'm not overly familiar with PGP Desktop.

    Any advice would be appreciated. Many thanks in advance

    Neil

    It's a policy option:

    Consumers > Consumer Policy > Policy Name > PGP Desktop > Zip & Shredder

    There's a tick box there called: Allow the user to create and open PGP Zip archives and create SDAs
