About PGP Command Line New Features Supported Platforms System Requirements Installation Instructions Licensing Additional Information Using PGP Command Line Getting Assistance Copyright About PGP Command Line Thank you for using PGP Command Line, a software product from PGP Corporation that provides a commandline interface to PGP functionality and automates the processes of encrypting/signing, decrypting/verifying, and file shredding. New Features in PGP Command Line 9.5 New features in PGP Command Line include: Full support for Signing Subkeys, as used in PGP Desktop 9.5. Support for notation packets, such as those used for preferred encoding formats as represented in PGP Desktop 9.5. Significantly improved support for X.509 certification import and full support for the new PGP bundle keys. Native support for OS X Intel. Improved automatic entropy discovery for random number generation in headless environments. FIPS support for the new 2048 and 3072 DSA key sizes. Note that PGP Command Line 9.5 is the only part of our product line currently able to generate these key sizes, and only in Advanced mode. Improved support for static linking.

2 Supported Platforms You can install PGP Command Line on these platforms: Windows Server 2003 (SP 1), Windows XP (SP 2), Windows 2000 (SP 4) HP-UX 11i and above (PA-RISC only) IBM AIX 5.2 and above RedHat Enterprise Linux 3.0 and above (x86 only) Fedora Core 3 and above (x86_64) Sun Solaris 9 (SPARC only) Apple Mac OS X 10.4 and above (Universal binary) Note: PGP products do not yet run on the Microsoft Vista operating system. 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. Installation Instructions This section includes instructions for installing PGP Command Line on all supported platforms. To install PGP Command Line on IBM AIX You must have root or administrator privileges on the system on which you are installing PGP Command Line. To install PGP Command Line on an AIX system: 2. Download the installer application, PGPCommandLine952AIX.tar, to a known location on your system. 3. Untar the package. You will get the file: PGPCommandLine952AIX.rpm. 4. Type rpm -ivh PGPCommandLine952AIX.rpm and press Enter. By default, the PGP Command Line application, pgp, is installed into the directory /opt/pgp/bin. You need to add this directory to your PATH environment variable in order for the application to be found. For sh based shells, use this syntax: PATH=$PATH:/opt/pgp/bin

3 set path = ($path /opt/pgp/bin) Also, in order to access the PGP Command Line man page, you need to set the MANPATH environment variable appropriately. MANPATH=$MANPATH:/opt/pgp/man; export MANPATH setenv MANPATH "/opt/pgp/man" By adding the option --prefix to the rpm command, you can install PGP Command Line to a location other than the default. Type rpm --prefix=/usr/pgp -ivh PGPCommandLine952AIX.rpm and press Enter. This command installs the application binary in the directory /usr/pgp/bin/pgp, libraries in /usr/pgp/lib, and so on. You will need to edit the environmental variable LIBPATH to include the new library path (/usr/pgp/lib) so that PGP Command Line can function in a location other than the default. To install PGP Command Line on HP-UX You need to have root or administrator privileges on the system on which you are installing PGP Command Line. To install PGP Command Line onto an HP-UX system: 2. Download the installer application, PGPCommandLine952HPUX.tar, to a known location on your system. 3. Untar the package. You will get the file: PGPCommandLine952HPUX.depot. 4. Type swinstall -s /absolute/path/to/pgpcommandline952hpux.depot and press Enter. To install PGP Command Line on a version of HP-UX with a patch level greater than 11.11, you will need to add the option "-x allow_incompatible=true" to swinstall. Step 4 above would thus be: Type swinstall -s /absolute/path/to/pgpcommandline952hpux.depot -x allow_incompatible=true and press Enter. The PGP Command Line application, pgp, is installed into the directory /opt/pgp/bin. You need to add this directory to your PATH environment variable in order for the application to be found. PATH=$PATH:/opt/pgp/bin set path = ($path /opt/pgp/bin) Also, in order to access the PGP Command Line man page, you need to set the MANPATH environment variable appropriately. MANPATH=$MANPATH:/opt/pgp/man; export MANPATH setenv MANPATH "/opt/pgp/man" Note: You may encounter an issue generating or 4096-bit keys on HP-UX systems running PGP Command Line if you have altered the maximum number of shared memory segments that can be attached to one process,

4 as configured by the shmseg system parameter. If you encounter this issue, reset the shmseg system parameter to its default value of 120. Consult your HP-UX documentation for information on how to alter system parameters. To install PGP Command Line on Mac OS X To install PGP Command Line on a Mac OS X system: 1.

6 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> For example: Where <Number> is a valid license number. 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 address was specified can be ignored. Including an address is optional, not required, for license authorization. Refer to the PGP Command Line User s Guide for more information about licensing. Additional Information This section includes important information about using PGP Command Line. PGP Command Line 9.5 Self-Decrypting Archives (SDAs). PGP Command Line is currently not able to decrypt SDAs. If you have the SDA on a Mac OS X or Windows system, you can open the SDA by double clicking it. [10079] HP-UX installations. On HP-UX, you may encounter an issue generating or 4096-bit keys if you have altered the maximum number of shared memory segments that can be attached to one process, as configured by the shmseg system parameter. To avoid this issue, reset the shmseg system parameter to its default value of 120. Consult your HP-UX documentation for information on how to alter system parameters. [NBN] PGP Command Line 9.0 No known issues at this time. PGP Command Line 8.5 If you install PGP Command Line 8.5 on a Windows system that has PGP Desktop or below, and then you uninstall PGP Command Line 8.5, you must then also uninstall and reinstall PGP Desktop to restore it to proper operation. PGP Desktop 8.1 and greater do not require this. Resolution: PGP Desktop and earlier are not supported for use with PGP Command Line 9.0, so this requirement is moot. This requirement does not affect versions of PGP Desktop that are supported for use with PGP Command Line 9.0, Versions 8.1 and greater.
