3. Known Bugs (and Workarounds)
===============================
- Using smart cards with Kleopatra:
* OpenPGP card
The initial setting of a smart card with Kleopatra is not yet
possible. Please run the following steps once to use your smart
card with Kleopatra.
Use the gpg command line tool to create a new OpenPGP certificate
on your card (a) or to activate your existing certificate of
your card (b):
(a) Create new certificate
- Insert card.
- Run "gpg --card-edit".
- Switch to admin modus by enter: "admin".
- Enter "generate" to create a new certificate.
(b) Activate existing certificate of your card
- Import associated (public) certificate of your card (e.g.
from certificate server or from a exported certificate file).
- Insert card.
- Run "gpg --card-status".
* X.509 Telesec Netkey 3 card
Use Kleopatra to initialize your card:
- Insert card.
- Click on the flashing Kleopatra system tray icon (or use the
context menu "smart card" of the system tray icon and run the
"learn card" command directly).
After finishing these steps your OpenPGP / X.509 certificate from your
smart card is shown in Kleopatra under the tab "My certificates"
(marked with a smart card icon).
- Using the Outlook Plugin "GpgOL":
* You defintely should create copies of your old encrypted/signed
emails before installing GpgOL, e.g. in the form of PST files.
* For Outlook 2003/2007 only:
Sending signed or encrypted messages via an Exchange based account
does not yet work.
[see
https://bugs.g10code.com/gnupg/issue1102]
(Please note, using SMTP with GpgOL and Exchange seems to be work.
Or use GpgOL with Outlook 2010/2013.)
* For Outlook 2003/2007 only:
Encrypted E-Mails occuring un-encrypted on the email server: It
can happen that parts of encrypted emails are copied to your email
server (IMAP or MAPI) in un-encrypted/decrypted form when creating
or viewing them. Affected is the content of the email view
window, thus usually the so-called email body. Attachments are
not affected. Switching off the Outlook preview will lower the
probability of this to happen, but not eliminate the issue.
Or use GpgOL with Outlook 2010/2013.
