GPG: Missing self signature Error
|
|
Hi All,
I have GNUPG versions 1.2 and 1.4 installed on two servers A and B
respectively.
I got a gpg key from a client, i imported it on Server B with out any error
messages and I am able to encrypt and decrypt data.
but on server A iam getting many errors.
/usr/local/bin/gpg --homedir /root/.gnupg --import client_name.pkr
gpg: key DFEB876D: no valid user IDs
gpg: this may be caused by a missing self-signature
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: w/o user IDs: 1
then i tried
usr/local/bin/gpg --homedir /root/.gnupg --allow-non-selfsigned-uid --import
client_name.pkr
this time it worked..
but when i try to encrypt the data it is giving me an error
usr/local/bin/gpg --homedir /root/.gnupg --output a.txt.gpg "gpg_key"
--encrypt a.txt
gpg: missing self-signature
i don know why it is behaving like this.. bcoz on B i have no such issues.
is this bcoz of the version differences? is there anyother command to solve
this error. or do i need to upgrade the gpg version on A? please advice.
