Using PGP Command Line PGP Command Line uses a command-line interface; you type commands at a command prompt using the following syntax: pgp command [option] <argument> For example, to get assistance with the commands available in PGP Command Line, use the --help command: pgp --help Refer to the PGP Command Line online help file, man page, or the PGP Command Line User's Guide for more information about using PGP Command Line. Changes in This Release This section lists the changes in this release of PGP Command Line. New Features in Version 10.3.2 Compatibility with Windows Server 2012 R2 This release supports the installation of PGP Command Line on Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2. Compatibility with Apple Mac OS X 10.8.5 and 10.9 This release supports the installation of PGP Command Line on systems running Apple Mac OS X 10.8.5 and 10.9. (Note
PGP Command Line Version 10.3 Release Notes Page 2 of 6 that installation on systems running Mac OS X 10.8.2 and 10.8.3 has been removed.) Compatibility with Microsoft Windows 8.1 This release supports the installation of PGP Command Line on systems running Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro and Microsoft Windows 8.1 Enterprise, both 32- and 64-bit versions. Resolved Issues in Version 10.3.2 Resolved incompatibilities with IBM AIX 7.1 (TL 2) PowerPC, 32- and 64-bit Resolved Issues in Version 10.3.1 PGP Command Line includes HP-UX Itanium support in this release. [2751111] The passphrase cache no longer expires when a timeout value of zero is specified. [3054195] Resolved an issue where keys that were imported and signed might still cause an "Invalid Key" warning to be generated when data was encrypted to those keys. [3107014] PGP Command Line now supports 'pgp-eml' as a preferred email encoding format. [3132594] Resolved Issues in Version 10.3.0 Enhanced the argument to -r/--recipient in KMS operations so that it can now be a full search expression for MAKs. [2473955] Resolved the issue so that simple bind for LDAP and LDAPS key searches now succeeds. [2807713] System Requirements The system requirements for PGP Command Line are the same as the system requirements for the host operating system. Note: In addition to the hard drive space required by the operating system, PGP Command Line requires additional space for both the data on which cryptographic operations (such as encryption, decryption, signing, and verifying) are applied and temporary files created in the process of performing those operations. For a given file being encrypted or decrypted, PGP Command Line can require several times the size of the original file in free hard drive space (depending on how much the file was compressed); enough space to hold the original file or files and the file resulting from the encryption or decryption operation. In cases where PGP Zip functionality is used on a file, PGP Command Line may also require several times the size of the original file or files in free hard drive space, enough to hold the original file, a temporary file created when handling the archive, and the file resulting from the encryption or decryption operation. Make sure you have adequate free hard drive space on your system before using PGP Command Line. For more information about the system requirements for specific platforms, refer to the PGP Command Line User s Guide. Supported Platforms You can install PGP Command Line on these platforms: Windows Server 2012 (64-bit), Windows Server 2012 R2 (64-bit), Windows 8.1 Enterprise (32- and 64-bit versions), Windows 8.1 Pro (32- and 64-bit editions), Windows 8 Enterprise (32- and 64-bit versions), Windows 8 Pro (32- and 64-bit editions), Windows Vista 32-bit and 64-bit (including Service Pack 2), Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit (including Service Pack 1), Windows Server 2003 32-bit and 64-bit (including Service Pack 2), Windows Server 2008 32-bit (including Service Pack 2), Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit) HP-UX 11i and above for Itanium 2 and similar processors (64-bit) IBM AIX 7.1 (TL 2) PowerPC, 32- and 64-bit, IBM AIX 6.1 (TL 4 and greater) PowerPC, 32- and 64-bit, and IBM AIX 5.3 (Technology Levels supported by IBM; as of July 2011, TL 11 and greater) PowerPC, 32- and 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4 (32- and 64-bit), Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3 (32- and 64-bit), Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.10 (32- and 64-bit), Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.9 (32- and 64-bit) SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11.3 (32- and 64-bit), SLES 11 SP3 (32- and 64-bit), SLES 10 SP4 (32- and 64-bit) Oracle Solaris 11 (64-bit), Oracle Solaris 11 (SPARC, 64-bit), Oracle Solaris 10 (32- and 64-bit), Oracle Solaris 10 (SPARC, 32- and 64-bit), Oracle Solaris 9 (SPARC, 32- and 64-bit)
PGP Command Line Version 10.3 Release Notes Page 3 of 6 For Oracle Solaris 9 on SPARC, we require the Oracle Solaris patch 111722-04 in order for the installation to succeed. Apple Mac OS X 10.9, Mac OS X 10.8.5, and Mac OS X 10.8.4 Note: These platforms are no longer supported: Windows 2000, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.0, SLES (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server) 9, Oracle Solaris 9 (32- and 64-bit), Fedora Core 6, AIX 5.2 and Mac OS X 10.4. Licensing PGP Command Line requires a valid license to operate. If you use PGP Command Line without entering a license or after your license has expired, only basic functionality will be available; you will only be able to list the keys on your keyring, view a fingerprint, and export keys. Note: As PGP Command Line does not operate normally until licensed, you should license it immediately after installation. Use --license-authorize to license PGP Command Line. The following options are required: --license-name <Name> Where <Name> is your name or a descriptive name. --license-organization <Org> Where <Org> is the name of your company. --license-number <Number> Where <Number> is a valid license number. For example: pgp --license-authorize --license-name "Alice Cameron" --license-organization "Example Corporation" --license-number "AAAAA-BBBBB-CCCCC-DDDDD-EEEEE-FFF" Note that the error message stating no email address was specified can be ignored. Including an email address is optional, not required, for license authorization. Refer to the PGP Command Line User s Guide for more information about licensing. PGP Command Line and Symantec Encryption Desktop on the Same System PGP Command Line and Symantec Encryption Desktop can be installed on the same system at the same time. To use PGP Command Line and Symantec Encryption Desktop for Windows on the same 64-bit system, you must use the 64-bit version of Symantec Encryption Desktop and the 32-bit version of PGP Command Line. This ensures compatible versions of the PGP SDK are used. The PGP SDK for the 64-bit version of PGP Command Line includes functionality that makes it incompatible with Symantec Encryption Desktop for Windows. Additional Information This section includes important information about using PGP Command Line. Upgrading when multiple Symantec Encryption client products are installed. If Symantec Encryption Desktop and PGP Command Line are installed on the same system and those versions are earlier than 10.2, you must upgrade both products at the same time. If only one product is updated to version 10.2 or later, then the other product will not function correctly until it is also updated. [31379] Keys and subkeys assume the expiration dates of their certificates. Importing a certificate into a key or subkey causes the key or subkey to assume the expiration date of the certificate (within 1 week). If the certificate expires, then the key or subkey expires. To reset such an expired key or subkey, change the certificate expiration date. [26353]
PGP Command Line Version 10.3 Release Notes Page 4 of 6 Unable to recreate MAK. Deleting a MAK and then importing a MAK for the same key results in the error USP-00000: SQL command execution error: ERROR: duplicate key violates unique constraint "subkey_pkey". [26433] MAKs lack the ADK subkey. Symantec Encryption Management Server supports policy settings that add an Additional Decryption Key (ADK) on an organizational or a group policy level. When consumers covered by such policies create MAKs, the new key material in those MAKs omits the specified ADK. [29001] Excluded users can create MAKs and other objects. Consumers authenticated through PGP Command Line can create MAKs and other objects, even if they are members of the Excluded group. [26577] External factors may affect your ability to set validity durations for MEK series. For PGP Command Line installed on a Windows system that has a timezone with a UTC offset of +1 to +13, setting the validity-duration of a MEK Series object results in the error pgp:edit MEK series (3090:operation failed, unknown error. This behavior occurs with all Windows system that PGP Command Line supports, including Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, and Windows XP. [27882] Unable to encrypt emails that have email addresses with leading or trailing white space. Keys that have email addresses with trailing or leading white space characters are unsearchable for email encryption. Email clients ignore leading and trailing white space characters, which causes Symantec Encryption Desktop email and Symantec Gateway Email Encryption to search for keys with email address that omit leading or trailing white space characters. [31001] Managed access for cached passphrases within a user session. PGP Command Line now requires a longrunning application to retain cached passphrases. For Symantec Encryption Desktop installations on Windows and Mac OSX, the long-running application is PGP Tray. For Linux PGP Command Line or other installations without Symantec Encryption Desktop, PGP Command Line itself can be used as the long-running application. Scripts can start PGP Command Line as a long-running application using the PGP --agent command. The application continues running until it is terminated with a sigint signal (for example control-c). [nbn] The PGP SDK Service: Beginning with PGP Command Line 10.2.0, the PGP SDK service (PGPServ.exe) is no longer needed as it is now efficiently referenced in memory. Therefore, the PGPServ.exe is no longer listed under Services (in Computer Management). [2628949] PGP Command Line makes use of shared memory segments: On AIX systems, some operations, such as PKCS-12 certificate import or passphrase cache operations, may fail due to per-process limits on the number of segments that can be mapped. To avoid possible problems on AIX, Symantec recommends defining an environment variable: EXTSHM=ON. [3020807, 3020909] Installation on Oracle Solaris 11 for SPARC systems: PGP Command Line produces a bus error when installed on Oracle Solaris 11 for SPARC systems.
