About private key security

When you generate a private key with this zimlet or copy-paste it when signing or decrypting, it is NOT being sent to the server and it is NOT stored on the server.

As of version 1.2.4 you can optionally store your private key in your browsers local storage. If you do not store your private key the server will ask you to provide it for each session. Also you can optionally store your passphrase to the Zimbra server. If you do not store your passphrase the server will ask you to provide it every time it is needed.

As of version 1.5.8 your private key is automatically encrypted with AES-256 when stored in your browsers local storage.

========================================================================

An unknown error (account.INVALID_ATTR_VALUE) has occurred.

When storing public keys > 5120 in ZCS 8.6:

As root:

nano /opt/zimbra/conf/attrs/zimbra-attrs.xml
Find the line: name="zimbraZimletUserProperties" type="cstring" max="5120"
and change it to: name="zimbraZimletUserProperties" type="cstring" max="51200"
then as user zimbra: zmcontrol restart

"zimbraZimletUserProperties" will be increased by default in ZCS 8.7 (to 51200)

Keyserver lookup

As of version 2.2.6 keyserver lookup is supported, the admin can set the keyserver to be queried in:

nano /opt/zimbra/zimlets-deployed/_dev/tk_barrydegraaff_zimbra_openpgp/config_template.xml
<property name="keyserver">https://sks-keyservers.net</property>

If you can use your keyserver from a browser, but not from the Zimlet (0 undefined response), you may need to enable CORS. See: http://enable-cors.org/server.html and https://github.com/Zimbra-Community/pgp-zimlet/issues/205

X-Mailer header for Thunderbird/Enigmail support

Thunderbird/Enigmail has some built in hacks to support email servers that do not support pgp/mime. Unfortunately that means that Zimbra OpenPGP Zimlet is identified wrongly as being Exchange server. This is fixed in Enigmail version 1.9.2. For compatibilty the X-Mailer header X-Mailer: ... ZimbraWebClient ... should be present in outgoing email. The sending of X-Mailer is enabled by default. If you changed the default you have to re-enable it using zmprov mcf zimbraSmtpSendAddMailer "TRUE";.
