secret key not found

I am trying to decrypt file from command prompt as below and it works fine.
echo paraphase|gpg --batch --passphrase-fd 0 --decrypt-files *data*.txt.gpg

But the same command when I call from application (Informatica), it gives below error.
>>gpg: encrypted with RSA key, ID AAAAAA
gpg: decryption failed: No secret key

Is that I need to give some other details ?

Does the application run under the same user ID or in a chroot environment?

Re: secret key not found [In reply to]

It gives below error. Why it is looking in 'C:/Documents and Settings/Default User/Application'? Can someone help on this?

gpg: keyblock resource `C:/Documents and Settings/Default User/Application Data/gnupg/temporary': No such file or directory
gpg: encrypted with RSA key, ID XXXXX
gpg: encrypted with RSA key, ID YYYYY
gpg: decryption failed: No secret key

Application runs under different user id. What is chroot? It is windows environment.

Because that is the correct directory as told by your Windows version
(by means of CSIDL_APPDATA) or configured by you:

--homedir DIR

Set the name of the home directory to DIR. If this option is not used,
the home directory defaults to '~/.gnupg'. It is only recognized when
given on the command line. It also overrides any home directory
stated through the environment variable 'GNUPGHOME' or (on W32
systems) by means of the Registry entry
'HKCU\Software\GNU\GnuPG:HomeDir'.

Salam-Shalom,

Re: secret key not found [In reply to]

It still gives same error. I added '--homedir DIR ' in command.

echo paraphrase|gpg.exe --homedir DIR --batch --secret-keyring temporary --passphrase-fd 0 --decrypt-files E:\a.txt.gpg

gpg: keyblock resource `DIR/secring.gpg': No such file or directory
gpg: keyblock resource `DIR/temporary': No such file or directory
gpg: keyblock resource `DIR/pubring.gpg': No such file or directory
gpg: encrypted with RSA key, ID XXXXX
gpg: encrypted with RSA key, ID YYYY
gpg: decryption failed: No secret key

I suggest that you import the keys first. Why do you define a second
secret keyring (temporary) which does not exists?

You may also want to read one of the HOWTO documents at
http://gnupg.org/documentation/howtos.en.html first.

Are you literally entering DIR? Because it was intended to be an indicator that
that is the place you should place the wanted directory name, as in for example[1]:

--homedir "C:\Documents and Settings\Rupali\Application Data"

or something similar.

Re: secret key not found [In reply to]

I am running simple command 'gpg --decrypt E:\a.txt.gpg'. It runs successfully from command prompt, but when I run from application it gives below error. Why it is saying
'No secret key'. How to fix this? It is the same environment.
gpg: encrypted with RSA key, ID BA041825
gpg: decryption failed: No secret key

Re: secret key not found [In reply to]

After importing keys, I am able to decrypt files. Thanks a lot.
