AW: AW: AW: WINDOWS - Adding passphrase to gpg via command line

[Mike Kaufmann]

Good morning

Thank you very much for the response!

Now that I've done all the things you've written, I no longer receive the error "ERR 67108924 Not supported <GPG Agent> - no --allow-preset-passphrase" when I start the gpg-agent with gpg-connect-agent PRESET_PASSPHRASE.

Unfortunately when I start gpg-agent with the following command on Windows Command Line
gpg-connect-agent PRESET_PASSPHRASE "74EC3FAA93CD49446EC6825C3EBEB2C336CCBE2A" -1 "MyPassphrase"

I receive the following errors:
ERR 67108992 Missing value <GPG Agent>
ERR 67109139 Unknown IPC command <GPG Agent>


I've also attached an image to this e-mail where you can see the commands and errors.

Do you have any further ideas?

Regads,
Mike

You need to create it in the homedir.  

  gpg --versions

shows the homedir, or use

  gpgconf --list-dirs

which also has a homedir line.  Then go to that directory, and put a the lines

verbose
allow-preset-passphrase

into a file named gpg-agent.conf.  (verbose is not really needed but might be helpful).  Then kill gpg-agent :

  gpgconf --kill gpg-agent

and things should work.

I leave that to others ;-)
