PGP issues

[Tolingo Tolinga]

Hi,

I think that I have found the answer to some of the problems I faced
with PGP and Kolab.

It seems that most of the PGP features are not supported in DIMP (as
of Horde 3), this is the second Webmail interface in Horde, but they
are supported in IMP the classic Webmail. It happens that DIMP is
enforced in Kolab. As a result in a fresh Kolab install you can enable
PGP features in the preferences but you cannot use it to compose.
Once you change some PHP code you can switch to the classic IMP
webmail anf PGP works.

There is something that remains unsolved for me. Why all imported keys
report "Invalid key" and "Invalid email" in the options panel?

I think that the new Horde version 4 has PGP totally integrated in
DIMP but, I don't know if it can be installed over a current Kolab
server nor how to do it. May be some of the developers out there can
clarify this point.

In any case, I report my findings here in case anyone else have the
same problem.

Regards,

Tolingo
