THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE APPLIES TO:

  • EFT v8.0.x and later

DISCUSSION

Version 8.0.x of EFT leverages GUID PGP keyring files which regenerated as you make changes to the keyring. This mean that you can no longer point to a single keyring reference as you could in previous versions.

 

  • a. In version 8.0.x and above, You should now be able to see a PGP folder in your Server Configuration Settings folder. There will be one folder per site and within that folder you will various revisions of the private and public key rings.

  • You will notice that there will be additional keys in the OpenPGP keyring. A key ring will display various version of the key for encryption/decryption, sign, etc.  

 

  • Before we take a closer look at the AWE script, let's make sure the logic of our AWE encryption rules is set correctly. In example below, we will use a folder monitor with a condition that triggers on files added to the folder where the extension does not match *.pgp.
