Re: [Enigmail] Importing PGP key via code
--- Begin Message ---
i have figured out how to add a PGP key to Thunderbird, in case anyone
finds it useful:
|var pcUser = "Administrator"; // <== Put your Windows user name var
privateKeysFolder = "C:\\Users\\" + pcUser +
"\\Desktop\\gpg-private-keys"; // <== place your priv keys here!
Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/FileUtils.jsm"); var
EnigmailKeyRing =
ChromeUtils.import("chrome://openpgp/content/modules/keyRing.jsm").EnigmailKeyRing;
function importSecretKeyFromFile(filename){ var file = new
FileUtils.File(filename); let resultKeys = {}; let errorMsgObj = {};
EnigmailKeyRing.importKeyFromFile( window, function(win, fpr,
userFlags){ resultFlags.canceled = false; return ""; }, // <== returns
key passphrase, if any file, errorMsgObj, resultKeys, false, true);
return resultKeys.keys[0]; } var k =
importSecretKeyFromFile(privateKeysFolder +
"\\privatekey_em...@example.com.asc"); console.log("imported key id: " +
k); |
Now i just need to associate the imported key to an identity, and i've
asked about it on bugzilla
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1671834
They don't seem to reply though. Anyway i have basically tried with
Services.prefs.setStringPref , but it doesn't work||
|var { Services } =
ChromeUtils.import("resource://gre/modules/Services.jsm");
Services.prefs.setStringPref( "mail.identity." + identity.key +
".openpgp_key_id", k ); // associate this pgp key with identity... won't
work|
From the identity manager popup of the Thunderbird UI i don't see any
PGP key for the identity, under "End-to-end cryptography" tab.
I have even tried removing the "0x" prefix from the key id ( the "k"
variable), ... no difference. I see the PGP key in the OpenPGP key
manager popup though, and the email of the key matches with identity.email
Do you have any idea please? Thanks

I can't give a definitive answer because I'm not a Thunderbird staff member. But from my POV it's most unlikely that these functions will ever be implemented. Thunderbird uses RNP, and does not support GnuPG (apart for some basic functions for signing and decryption). I think these files are a left-over from the code imported from Thunderbird and are not used anymore. -Patrick signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ enigmail-users mailing list enigmail-users@enigmail.net To unsubscribe or make changes to your subscription click here: https://admin.hostpoint.ch/mailman/listinfo/enigmail-users_enigmail.net
[Enigmail] Importing PGP key via code
--- Begin Message --- Hello, i have asked bugzilla how to import a PGP key file via Javascript (i will run it from the Thunderbird console). But they told me they don't give add-on support there. So i guess i have to ask you about this. Anyway, i have found the functions i need to call to do this: it's getGpgKeyData from https://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/file/595dddfbd18b/mail/extensions/openpgp/content/modules/cryptoAPI/gnupg-keylist.jsm or importKeyFromFileAPI from https://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/file/595dddfbd18b/mail/extensions/openpgp/content/modules/cryptoAPI/gnupg-key.jsm But both of them are not implemented. Indeed they do nothing other than throwing a "Not implemented" exception. Are you going to implement those methods soon? Or do you suggest another solution?
