WHAT'S IN THIS FILE
NEW FEATURES
- Easy-to-Use Web Console
The new PGP Keyserver Web Console provides secure
access to the Keyserver's console from remote web
browsers, giving administrators the ability to
remotely monitor and manage their PGP Keyserver
from any client with a supported web browser.
The Web Console now features an intuitive,
easy-to-use interface for Keyservers on both Windows
and Solaris platforms.
The bundled web server enables all console
communications to be encrypted using SSL,
providing a secure foundation for remote
management using a turnkey installation process.
Keyserver access logs and logged system events
are now available from the Web Console, improving
the information available to remote administrators.
Keyserver search and key-add functionality is now
available through a web browser interface for use
by administrators or remote web users.
- Enterprise Management of PGP Client Preferences
PGP 7.0 introduces a valuable feature that helps
administrators keep deployed PGP client configurations
up-to-date. By storing configuration options on the
PGP Keyserver, administrators can easily roll out
enterprise-wide configuration changes to deployed
PGP clients.
- Configuration Wizard
A new Configuration Wizard enables turnkey
configuration of everything necessary to begin
using the PGP Keyserver, making it easy to
set or change such options as security certificates
for the Keyserver and Web Console as well as
port numbers, hostname, and administrator email
address.
- Database Performance Improvements
This version includes numerous performance
improvements and database optimizations as well
as further options for performance enhancements
based on configuration requirements.
PGP userids can be indexed by substring for complete
searchability, as with earlier versions of the
Keyserver, or they can be indexed word by word,
providing a shorter time for adding keys and smaller
index files for the database.
- Windows 2000 Support
PGP Keyserver now fully supports the Windows 2000
operating system.
- Auto-delete from pending area
The pending area has an enhanced self-maintenance
feature. When a key added to the Keyserver
passes signature policies (having been signed by
an Employee Certification Key, for instance),
the key is automatically removed from the pending
area, eliminating the need for additional
administrative steps.
- Key Reconstruction Support for PGP Clients
PGP 7.0's new key reconstruction feature helps users
recover from lost keys or forgotten passphrases. PGP
Keyserver 7.0 supports the optional storage of
reconstruction data, supporting PGP's cryptographic
key splitting technology to provide a secure means
for users to recover their private keys after
answering five questions whose answers only the
user would know.
- Enhanced logging format
PGP Keyserver 7.0's enhanced logging format provides
additional statistics useful for usage analysis,
including request processing time, number of user
id's and signatures added, and the size of the key
information transmitted to or from the client machine.
Compatibility with the earlier logging format is
available by configuration option.
- New PGP Key format support
PGP 7.0 introduces a new RSA key format that provides
support for PGP's Additional Decryption Key (ADK),
designated revoker, multiple encryption subkeys and
photo ID features. Previously these features were
only available to users with Diffie-Hellman keys.
PGP Keyserver 7.0 now supports the use of these keys.
- Support Utilities
PGPexport now creates ASCII-armored keyfiles by
default when exporting keys and reconstruction data.
The binary export format used in earlier versions
can be enabled if reconstruction data is not required.
PGPimport now reads both ASCII-armored keyfiles and
binary keyrings.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
*Windows NT/2000*
To install PGP Keyserver on a Windows NT/2000 server:
- Windows NT version 4.0 Service Pack 6a or
Windows 2000 Service Pack 1
- 64MB RAM minimum
- 15MB disk space for software
- Additional disk space for database (10MB - 500MB)
- Network interface card
- PGP 7.0 (Only required for management of secure keys).
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 SP2 or later,
or Netscape 4.x.
*UNIX*
To install PGP Keyserver on a UNIX server:
- Sun Solaris for SPARC (UNIX) version 2.6 or later
- 64MB RAM minimum
- 30MB disk space for software
- Additional disk space for database (10MB - 500MB)
- Network interface card
- PGP 7.0 (Only required for management of secure keys).
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 SP2 or later,
or Netscape 4.x.
NOTE: The latest recommended patches from Sun are REQUIRED
for Solaris 7 support. They can be obtained as a single patch
bundle at the following web site:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=patches/patch-access
KNOWN ISSUES
- If any other service or daemon (such as Microsoft Internet
Information Server or Apache Web Server) is using port 443,
the Configuration Wizard will issue a warning that port 443
is in use. You should either disable that service, or assign
the PGP Keyserver's Web Console to a port other than 443.
- To use the Web Console, a browser with 128-bit encryption is
required. If you use a browser that does not include support
for 128-bit encryption, using the Web Console will result in
a blank browser display or a message stating that there are no
common encryption algorithms.
- Any PGP 7.0 client or server product installed after PGP
Keyserver 7.0 will cause failure to start PGP Keyserver (error
message: DLL entry point not found). Any such product must be
installed BEFORE PGP Keyserver 7.0. Any PGP 7.0.1 software
can be safely installed before or after PGP Keyserver 7.0.
- When entering the Organization Name and Organizational Unit to
generate the X.509 Certificate in the Configuration Wizard, the
use of more than 100 characters in each field or the use of
non-alphanumeric characters is unsupported. If PGPapache
encounters such usage, it may fail to start, and the webserver
error log in web/logs/error_log will contain the message "Key does
not have a valid X.509 signature".

STARTING THE PGP KEYSERVER
*Windows NT/2000*
The PGP Keyserver starts automatically after installation
and reboot.
*UNIX*
To start the PGP Keyserver after configuring it, use the
Web Console's Restart button (Server Control panel), or
run the SysV init script:
/etc/init.d/pgpkeyserver start
*Both Windows and UNIX*
To view the PGP Keyserver's Web Console, enter
the following URL in the location field of any Web browser:
https://<hostname or IP address>[:<port>]/keyserver/
To test to see if the PGP Keyserver is running properly:
- Start PGP version 5.5 or later.
- Add the URL of the machine running PGP Keyserver
to PGP's configuration by selecting
PGP Preferences from PGPtray's popup
menu (or from the Edit/Preferences menu of PGPkeys).
- On the Servers page, add a new server:
A. Enter a new domain or choose an existing one.
B. Enter an LDAP server using the format:
ldap://YOUR-HOST-NAME
- From PGPkeys, select any key from your list of
keys, then select the Send Key to Server item on
the Server menu. Be sure to select the name of your
new PGP Keyserver.
If the key is successfully sent to the PGP Keyserver,
it is running properly. You can also
use the Search dialog box in PGPkeys to search the keys
on the server. Again, be sure to set the name of
your new PGP Keyserver as the server to search.
STARTING THE PGP REPLICATION ENGINE
*Windows NT/2000 and UNIX*
If you installed the optional PGP Replication
Engine component, you must install the PGP Keyserver on
the slave servers. After you have installed the
additional software, you must identify the hosts that
you want to replicate the database to, and the replication
log file before you start the PGP Replication Engine. To do
so, follow these steps:
- Display the Web Console by entering the following URL in the location field of any Web browser:
https://<hostname or IP address>[:<port>]/keyserver/
- Click Replication, left side of console.
- Identify the PGP Keyservers you want to replicate the
database to, for example, ldap://mirror.company.com.
- Identify the replication log file, for example, rep.log.
- Click Save Changes (top of console).
- Click Server Control (left side of Web Console).
- Click Restart under Replication, top right corner of
Web Console.
