Unable to use S/MIME in Kmail
Last modified: 2006-03-28 09:39:16 UTC
Hello, I'm unable to use S/MIME in KMail. I've created key pair with KGpg and I can choose them to sign messages in kmail settings: "settings->configure kmail->profiles->choose profile and press modify->encryption->OpenPGP sign key (and OpenPGP encrypt key)->change" opens window where my newly generated key is available. But if I press 'choose' for "S/MIME sign cert" and "S/MIME encrypt cert" (located just below OpenPGP fields in the same tab), I get empty window opened. S/MIME is enabled in "settings->configure kmail->security->crypto modules" tab (checkbox named 'S/MIME (gpgsm)' is checked).
Is the empty window the KDE GPG log viewer? I'm looking into it.
KGpg can't create S/MIME keys. You need to get them from a Certification Authority. Just enabling the S/MIME functionality in KMail doesn't give you a key.
