Unwanted Passphrase prompt when copying private key

I need a solution

Hi I have a problem in that I’m upgrading to a new laptop at work. I’ve copied all the software and keys and installed SED onto the new laptop before my old one gets wiped, however, when I try to encrypt / decrypt files I’m being prompted for a passphrase which doesn’t happen on my old laptop.  Can I disable this or can someone tell me where on my old laptop the passphrase is?

How do I turn off efail protection on 10.4.2 HF1 or higher?

I need a solution

I recently downloaded the latest version of Endpoint Encryption and now I can’t decrypt files using a key. All I use this software for is encrypting and decrypting files sent between customers and myself. My customers are on an earlier version of Endpoint and I don’t want force them to upgrade because they’ll have the same problem with their other venders that I am having with them. From the reading I’ve done on the Symantec website (https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH252997.html , https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH253087.html) it seems the solution to my problem is turning off efail protection. How do I do this?

How to decrypt a disk when the user has forgotten their passphrase

I need a solution

Hello all!

I currently have a user in my organization that has a bit of trouble. They’ve forgotten the passphrase to get into the PC and regularly need WDRT keys to be able to log in. Normally we’d be able to change the passphrase, as long as the user had security questions. Except those questions were not set up. If we try to add a user to change the way it’s encrypted, it asks for the passphrase. If we try to add security questions, again, it asks for a passphrase. Is there a way for us to be able to decrypt the machine, and then set the encryption back up with all the information documented this time?

The version that we’re running off of is Symantec Encryption Desktop 10.4.1.

Thanks, and I hope you all can help!

PGP Decryption Automation

I need a solution

I have created a windows service that will decrypt a file that’s been transfered. 

I am using the PGP Command Line tool, calling it via ProcessStartInfo in .net

var passphrase = "xxxxxxx";
 
var path = PathTpPgpExe;
 
var sCommandLine =
    $"--decrypt "{encryptedSourceFile}" --passphrase {passphrase} -o "{decryptedFile}" --overwrite remove";
 
var proc = new ProcessStartInfo(path, sCommandLine);
Process.Start(proc);

The code above does works, however you can see in the code above that the password is passed in and is hardcoded. I do not want developers to know the passphrase of public keys.

I would like to be able to call a method to retrive the passphrase. 

Is there a PGP Command Line  method that I can use?

Suggestions?

Thank you in advance.
