Using the Configuration File Learning about the configuration file Notes The and portions of the paths must be replaced with the value of the current environment variables of the same names. SECURE-VIEWER Specifies that the internal viewer be used to view decrypted information. The internal viewer protects potentially sensitive information from being written to disk while being displayed on your screen after a decryption operation. Setting the SECURE-VIEWER parameter in the configuration file prevents decrypted data from being written to disk and disables the use of the --output option. It also forces any encrypted content to carry the "Eyes Only" attribute, requesting that the decrypter not write the information to disk. Default Value SECURE-VIEWER = off SHOWPASS Causes E-Business Server to echo your typing during passphrase entry. Default Value SHOWPASS = off E-Business Server, by default, does not let you see your passphrase as you type it. This makes it harder for someone to look over your shoulder while you type and learn your passphrase. However, you may have problems typing your passphrase without seeing what you are typing or you may feel confident that you have sufficient privacy and do not need to hide your keystrokes. SIG-TYPE Applies a type to a signature on a key. Signature types are discussed below. Default Value SIG-TYPE = exportable You can also set the signature type on the command line by entering the following: ebs --sig-type --key-sign [--sign-with ] [] Values for are as follows: • Exportable (export). Exportable signatures can be exported to a certificate server so other users can view them. • Local (non). Local (non-exportable) signatures apply only to your keyring. You cannot export local signatures to a certificate server. • Meta. Meta signatures (always non-exportable) bestow meta-introducer status on the key. Any key considered trusted by the meta-introducer is considered a trusted introducer by you, and any key considered valid by the trusted introducer is considered valid to you. • Introducer. Introducer signatures bestow trusted introducer status on the key. Any key considered valid by a trusted introducer is considered valid to you. SIGNEDBY Decrypt a file that has been signed by a particular key. If you use this option, you do not need to specify --authenticate on the command line, or AUTHENTICATE in the configuration file.
