Decrypting PGP encypted files after download

Top Previous Next

AnyClient provides the ability to automatically decrypt OpenPGP encrypted files after download. To enable this feature you must populate the PGP Decryption settings for the site you are connecting to, providing the private key and key password used in decryption.

If you are planning to use the OpenPGP features that are included as part of AnyClient, then you may need to install the JCE Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files distributed by Oracle.

Due to export restriction the version of the policy files bundled by default with the JDK allow "strong" but limited cryptography to be used. The "unlimited strength" policy files contain no restrictions on the cryptographic strengths.

Download Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files

http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp (JVM 1.6)

Installation

1.	Determine the location of the JVM/JDK you are using by opening the .install4j\inst_jre.cfg file located in your AnyClient installation directory. This file will contain the path to the JRE used when running AnyClient.

Example

c:\program files\java\jre1.6.0_0

2. Extract the contents of the Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files to a temporary directory.

3. Copy the local_policy.jar and US_export_policy.jar files extracted in the previous step to the lib\security directory of your JRE making sure to backup previous versions of these jar files should you decide to revert back to the previous installation.

Example

c:\program files\java\jre1.6.0_32\lib\security

4. Restart AnyClient.
