GnuPG problems with message decryption

Hello,

I have a question for anyone experienced with using gpg with gpg agent.

My situation is as follows:

  • I have configured the RT and GPG according to this manual:
    http://wiki.rediris.es/rtirwg/Public_GPGConfig
  • The RT is able to verify signatures on incoming mail and is able to
    sign mails
  • It is however not able to decrypt incoming mails, which is strange
    considering the signing and the decryption are practically identical
    processes

I have this in the log:

This is happening with RT-4.0.5 as well as 3.8.7.

Any thoughts?

Thank you,

Have you read the log? It’s pretty clear. Message is encrypted for two
recipients. You have required key in the keyring, but you didn’t
provide passphrase. You either use passphraseless keys, use gpg-agent
or set passphrase in RT config.

Thank you,
Martin

Hi, Ruslan,

I have definitely read the log. Several times…
As I have said, I am using the gpg-agent and in my configuration the
gpg-agent happily provides a password for RT when signing the message
(the same operation as decrypting) but fails in this case, i.e. there is
some problem when retrieving the passphrase for decrypting purposes
using gpg-agent. It can either be a configuration error or a bug - I
will probably hunt it down someday no matter what it is, but it would
help me to hear whether there is someone who actually has it working in
a setup like mine.

Hi,

I don’t see other option except to put $RT::Logger->debug(…) calls
in lib/RT/Crypt/GnuPG.pm.On Thu, Feb 23, 2012 at 11:22, Martin Drašar drasar@ics.muni.cz wrote:
