Introduction
1
This Administrator’s Guide describes both the PGP Universal™ Server and Client
software. It tells you how to get them up and running on your network, how to
configure them, and how to maintain them. This section provides a high-level
overview of PGP Universal Server.
What is PGP Universal Server?
PGP Universal Server is a single console for managing the applications that
provide email, disk, and network file encryption.
PGP Universal Server with PGP Universal Gateway Email gives you secure
messaging: it transparently protects your enterprise messages with little or no
user interaction.
The PGP Universal Server also replaces the PGP Keyserver product with a builtin keyserver, and the PGP Admin product with PGP Desktop configuration and
deployment capabilities.
PGP Universal Server automatically creates and maintains a Self-Managing
Security Architecture (SMSA) by monitoring authenticated users and their email
traffic. You can also send protected messages to addresses that are not part of
the SMSA. The PGP Universal Server encrypts, decrypts, signs, and verifies
messages automatically, providing strong security through policies you control.
PGP Universal Satellite, a client-side feature of PGP Universal Server, extends
PGP security for email messages all the way to the computer of the email user,
it allows external users to become part of the SMSA, and it gives end users the
option to create and manage their keys on their own computer (if allowed by
the PGP administrator).
PGP Desktop, a client product, is created and managed through PGP Universal
Server policy. It creates PGP keypairs and can manage user keypairs as well as
store the public keys of others. It encrypts user email and instant messaging
(IM). It can encrypt entire or partial hard drives. It also enables secure file
sharing with others over a network.
15
PGP Universal™ Server Introduction
PGP Universal Server Product Family
PGP Universal Server functions as a management console for a variety of
encryption solutions. You can purchase any of the PGP Desktop applications or
bundles and use PGP Universal Server to create and manage client installations.
You can also purchase a license that enables PGP Gateway Email to encrypt
email in the mailstream.
The PGP Universal Server can manage any combination of PGP encryption
applications. PGP encryption applications are:
PGP Universal Gateway Email provides automatic email encryption in the
gateway, based on centralized mail policy. This product requires
administration by the PGP Universal Server.
PGP Desktop Email provides encryption at the desktop for mail, files, and
AOL Instant Messenger traffic. This product can be managed by the PGP
Universal Server.
PGP Whole Disk Encryption provides encryption at the desktop for an
entire disk. This product can be managed by the PGP Universal Server.
PGP NetShare provides transparent file encryption and sharing among
desktops. This product can be managed by the PGP Universal Server.
Who Should Read This Guide
This Administrator’s Guide is for the person or persons who implement and
maintain your organization’s PGP Universal Server environment. These are the
PGP Universal Server administrators.
This guide is also intended for anyone else who wants to learn about how PGP
Universal Server works.
Common Criteria Environments
To be Common Criteria compliant, please refer to the best practices shown in
PGP Universal Server 2.9 Common Criteria Supplemental. Note that these best
practices supersede recommendations made elsewhere in this and other
documentation.
16
PGP Universal™ Server Introduction
Improvements in this Version of PGP Universal Server
The 3.0.0 release of PGP Universal Server introduces the following new and
improved features:
Verified Directory users, and devices are now called consumers.
Consumers are sorted into groups manually, by user type, or by matching
consumer attributes to domains, dictionary entries or through LDAP values.
Group membership determines which policy consumers receive.
Expanded directory synchronization: The integrated directory
synchronization feature now connects to multiple LDAP directories.
Previous versions of PGP Universal Server could only connect to one
corporate directory at a time.
Managed PGP Mobile: PGP Universal Server now manages client policy
for PGP Mobile installations.
Operating system change: The new CentOS operating system improves
scalability and reliability, and supports a wider variety of hardware.
RSA SecurID support for administrator authentication: PGP Universal
Server now supports two-factor authentication using RSA SecurID. This
meets strong authentication requirements for environments with higher
security needs, and is compatible with existing RSA SecurID deployments.
PGP Keys
Key Management Server (KMS): The new key management feature
provides new and expanded key management capabilities for PGP
products. Key policy changes are now immediately enforced. KMS allows
management of asymmetric and symmetric keys. The API and SDK provide
key management functionality to non-PGP applications.
Server Key Mode offline use: The client can now store the SKM private
key, encrypted to a random passphrase, so users can read email offline.
PGP Messaging
ADK archival output: Administrators can archive end-to-end encrypted
email messages by decrypting the messages on PGP Universal Server
using the ADK, and sending the decrypted messages to an archive server.
Encrypted email messages are then searchable, making possible
compliance with regulatory mandates and requirements for message
retention, mail server data management, and legal discovery support.
17
PGP Universal™ Server Introduction
Recursive encoding: Provides an additional layer of protection to email
messages that have been partially protected and to email messages that
have been signed. Supports an additional layer of encoding if the initial
layer is not complete.
Clustering
New clustering functionality: Cluster members now interact with each
other as peers, replacing the previous Primary/Secondaries model. Every
server in a cluster can serve all types of requests, and any server can
initiate persistent changes. The new cluster model also permits up to 20
nodes in a cluster.
Using the PGP Universal Server with the Command Line
Using the PGP Universal Server command line for read-only access (such as to
view settings, services, logs, processes, disk space, query the database, etc) is
supported. However, performing configuration modifications via the command
line voids your PGP Support agreement unless these procedures are followed.
Symbols
Any changes made to the PGP Universal Server via the command line must be:
Authorized in writing by PGP Support.
Implemented by a PGP Partner, reseller or internal employee who is
certified in the PGP Advanced Administration and Deployment Training.
Summarized and documented in a text file in
/var/lib/ovid/customization on the PGP Universal Server itself.
Changes made through the command line might not persist through reboots
and might be incompatible with future releases. PGP Support can require

The Big Picture
2
This chapter describes some important terms and concepts and gives you a
high-level overview of the things you need to do to set up and maintain your
PGP Universal Server environment.
Important Terms
The following sections define important terms you will encounter throughout
the PGP Universal Server and this documentation.
PGP Products
PGP Universal Server: A device you add to your network that provides
secure messaging with little or no user interaction. The PGP Universal
Server automatically creates and maintains a security architecture by
monitoring authenticated users and their email traffic. You can also send
protected messages to addresses that are not part of the security
architecture.
PGP Global Directory: A free, public keyserver hosted by PGP
Corporation. The PGP Global Directory provides quick and easy access
to the universe of PGP keys. It uses next-generation keyserver
technology that queries the email address on a key (to verify that the
owner of the email address wants their key posted) and lets users
manage their own keys. Using the PGP Global Directory significantly
enhances your chances of finding a valid public key of someone to
whom you want to send secured messages.
For external users without encryption keys, PGP Universal Server offers
multiple secure delivery options, leveraging third-party software that is
already installed on typical computer systems, such as a web browser or
Adobe Acrobat Reader. For email recipients who do not have an encryption
solution, you can use of of the following secure delivery options from PGP
Universal Server:
PGP Universal Satellite: The PGP Universal Satellite software
resides on the computer of the email user. It allows email to be
encrypted end to end, all the way to and from the desktop (for both
internal and external users). Using PGP Universal Satellite is one of
the ways for external users to participate in the SMSA. It also allows
users the option of controlling their keys on their local computers (if
allowed by the administrator).
21
PGP Universal™ Server The Big Picture
PGP Universal Web Messenger: The PGP Universal Web Messenger
service allows an external user to securely read a message from an
internal user before the external user has a relationship with the
SMSA. If PGP Universal Web Messenger is available via mail policy
for a user and the recipient’s key cannot be found, the message is
stored on the PGP Universal Server and an unprotected message is
sent to the recipient. The unprotected message includes a link to the
original message, held on the PGP Universal Server. The recipient
must create a passphrase, and then can access his encrypted
messages stored on PGP Universal Server.
PDF Messenger: PDF Messenger enables sending encrypted PDF
messages to external users who do not have a relationship with the
SMSA. In the normal mode, as with PGP Universal Web Messenger,
the user receives a message with a link to the encrypted message
location and uses a PGP Universal Web Messenger passphrase to
access the message. PDF Messenger also provides Certified Delivery,
which encrypts the message to a one-time passphrase, and creates
and logs a delivery receipt when the user retrieves the passphrase.
PGP Desktop: A client software tool that uses cryptography to protect your
data against unauthorized access. PGP Desktop is available for Mac OS X
and Windows.
PGP Whole Disk Encryption: Whole Disk Encryption is a feature of
PGP Desktop that encrypts your entire hard drive or partition (on
Windows systems), including your boot record, thus protecting all
your files when you are not using them.
PGP NetShare: A feature of PGP Desktop for Windows with which
you can securely and transparently share files and folders among
selected individuals. PGP NetShare users can protect their files and
folders simply by placing them within a folder that is designated as
protected.
PGP Virtual Disk: PGP Virtual Disk volumes are a feature of PGP
Desktop that let you use part of your hard drive space as an encrypted
virtual disk. You can protect a PGP Virtual Disk volume with a key or a
passphrase. You can also create additional users for a volume, so that
people you authorize can also access the volume.
PGP Zip: A feature of PGP Desktop that lets you put any combination
of files and folders into a single encrypted, compressed package for
convenient transport or backup. You can encrypt a PGP Zip archive to
a PGP key or to a passphrase.
PGP Portable: A separately-licensed feature that enables you to send
encrypted files to users who do not have PGP Desktop software, and to
transport files securely to systems that do not or cannot have PGP
software installed.

PGP Universal™ Server The Big Picture
PGP Universal Server Concepts
keys.<domain> convention: PGP Universal Server automatically looks for
valid public keys for email recipients at a special hostname, if no valid
public key is found locally to secure a message. This hostname is
keys.<domain> (where <domain> is the email domain of the recipient). For
example, Example Corporation’s externally visible PGP Universal Server is
named keys.example.com.
®
Corporation strongly recommends you name your externally visible
PGP
PGP Universal Server according to this convention because it allows other
PGP Universal Servers to easily find valid public keys for email recipients in
your domain.
For more information, see Naming your PGP Universal Server (on page
Security Architecture: Behind the scenes, the PGP Universal Server
creates and manages its own security architecture for the users whose
email domain it is securing. Because the security architecture is created
and managed automatically, we call this a self-managing security
architecture (SMSA).
PGP Universal Server Features
Administrative Interface: Each PGP Universal Server is controlled via a
Web-based administrative interface. The administrative interface gives you
control over PGP Universal Server. While many settings are initially
established using the web-based Setup Assistant, all settings of a PGP
Universal Server can be controlled via the administrative interface.
Backup and Restore: Because full backups of the data stored on your PGP
Universal Server are critical in a natural disaster or other unanticipated loss
of data or hardware, you can schedule automatic backups of your PGP
Universal Server data or manually perform a backup.
You can fully restore a PGP Universal Server from a backup. In the event of
a minor problem, you can restore the PGP Universal Server to any saved
backup. In the event that a PGP Universal Server is no longer usable, you
can restore its data from a backup onto a new PGP Universal Server during
initial setup of the new PGP Universal Server using the Setup Assistant. All
backups are encrypted to the Organization Key and can be stored securely
off the PGP Universal Server.
37).
Cluster: When you have two or more PGP Universal Servers in your
network, you configure them to synchronize with each other; this is called
a “cluster.”
Dictionary: Dictionaries are lists of terms to be matched. The dictionaries
work with mail policy to allow you to define content lists that can trigger
rules.
23
PGP Universal™ Server The Big Picture
Directory Synchronization: If you have LDAP directories in your
organization, your PGP Universal Server can be synchronized with the
directories. The PGP Universal Server automatically imports user
information from the directories when users send and receive email; it also
creates internal user accounts for them, including adding and using X.509
certificates if they are contained in the LDAP directories.
Ignition Keys: You can protect the contents of a PGP Universal Server,
even if the hardware is stolen, by requiring the use of a hardware token or
a software passphrase, or both, on start.
Keyserver: Each PGP Universal Server includes an integrated keyserver
populated with the public keys of your internal users. When an external
user sends a message to an internal user, the external PGP Universal
Server goes to the keyserver to find the public key of the recipient to use
to secure the message. The PGP Universal Server administrator can enable
or disable the service, and control access to it via the administrative
interface.
Learn Mode: When you finish configuring a PGP Universal Server using
the Setup Assistant, it begins in Learn Mode, where the PGP Universal
Server sends messages through mail policy without taking any action on
the messages, and does not encrypt or sign any messages.
Learn Mode gives the PGP Universal Server a chance to build its SMSA
(creating keys for authenticated users, for example) so that when when
Learn Mode is turned off, the PGP Universal Server can immediately begin
securing messages. It is also an excellent way for administrators to learn
about the product.
You should check the logs of the PGP Universal Server while it is in Learn
Mode to see what it would be doing to email traffic if it were live on your
network. You can make changes to the PGP Universal Server’s policies
while it is in Learn Mode until things are working as expected.
Mail Policy: The PGP Universal Server processes email messages based
on the policies you establish. Mail policy applies to inbound and outbound
email processed by both PGP Universal Server and client software. Mail
policy consists of multiple policy chains, comprised of sequential mail
processing rules.
Organization Certificate: You must create or obtain an Organization
Certificate to enable S/MIME support by PGP Universal Server. The
Organization Certificate signs all X.509 certificates the server creates.
Organization Key: The Setup Assistant automatically creates an
Organization Key (actually a keypair) when it configures a PGP Universal
Server. The Organization Key is used to sign all PGP keys the PGP
Universal Server creates and to encrypt PGP Universal Server backups.
24
PGP Universal™ Server The Big Picture
Caution: It is extremely important to back up your Organization Key: all
keys the PGP Universal Server creates are signed by the Organization
Key, and all backups are encrypted to the Organization Key. If you lose
your Organization Key and have not backed it up, the signatures on those
keys are meaningless and you cannot restore from backups encrypted to
the Organization Key.
PGP Verified Directory: The PGP Verified Directory supplements the
internal keyserver by letting internal and external users manage the
publishing of their own public keys. The PGP Verified Directory also serves
as a replacement for the PGP Keyserver product. The PGP Verified
Directory uses next-generation keyserver technology to ensure that the
keys in the directory can be trusted.
Server Placement: A PGP Universal Server can be placed in one of two
locations in your network to process email.
With an internal placement, the PGP Universal Server logically sits between
your email users and your mail server. It encrypts and signs outgoing SMTP
email and decrypts and verifies incoming mail being picked up by email
clients using POP or IMAP. Email stored on your mail server is stored
secured (encrypted).
With a gateway placement, the PGP Universal Server logically sits between
your mail server and the Internet. It encrypts and signs outgoing SMTP
email and decrypts and verifies incoming SMTP email. Email stored on your
mail server is stored unsecured.
For more information, see Configuring Mail Proxies (on page
PGP Universal Server Installation Guide.
Setup Assistant: When you attempt to log in for the first time to the
administrative interface of a PGP Universal Server, the Setup Assistant
takes you through the configuration of that PGP Universal Server.
PGP Universal Server User Types
Administrators: Any user who manages the PGP Universal Server and its
security configuration from inside the internal network.
Only administrators are allowed to access the administrative interface that
controls PGP Universal Server. A PGP Universal Server supports multiple
administrators, each of which can be assigned a different authority: from
read-only access to full control over every feature and function.
Consumers: Internal, external, and Verified Directory users, and devices.
External Users: External users are email users from other domains
(domains not being managed by your PGP Universal Server) who have
been added to the SMSA.
171) and the
25
PGP Universal™ Server The Big Picture
Internal Users: Internal users are email users from the domains being
managed by your PGP Universal Server.
PGP Universal Server allows you to manage PGP Desktop deployments
to your internal users. The administrator can control which PGP Desktop
features are automatically implemented at install, and establish and
update security policy for PGP Desktop users that those users cannot
override (except on the side of being more secure).
PGP Verified Directory Users: Internal and external users who have
submitted their public keys to the PGP Verified Directory, a Webaccessible keyserver.
Devices: Managed devices, WDE computers, and WDE disks.
Managed devices are arbitrary objects whose keys are managed by
PGP Universal Server. WDE computers, and WDE disks are devices
that are detected when users enroll.
Other Email Users: Users within your organization can securely send
email to recipients outside the SMSA.
First, the PGP Universal Server attempts to find a key for the recipient. If
that fails, there are four fallback options, all controlled by mail policy:
bounce the message back to the sender (so it is not sent unencrypted),
send unencrypted, Smart Trailer, and PGP Universal Web Messenger mail.
Smart Trailer sends the message unencrypted and adds text giving the
recipient the option of joining the SMSA by installing PGP Universal
Satellite, using an existing key or certificate, or using PGP Universal Web
Messenger. PGP Universal Web Messenger lets the recipient securely
read the message on a secure website; it also gives the recipient options
for handling subsequent messages from the same domain: read the
messages on a secure website using a passphrase they establish, install
PGP Universal Satellite, or add an existing key or certificate to the SMSA.
Installation Overview
The following steps are a broad overview of what it takes to plan, set up, and
maintain your PGP Universal Server environment.
Most of the steps described here are described in detail in later chapters. Steps
1 and 4 are described in the PGP Universal Server Installation Guide. Note that
these steps apply to the installation of a new, stand-alone PGP Universal Server.
If you plan to install a cluster, you must install and configure one PGP Universal
Server following the steps outlined here. Subsequent cluster members will get
most of their configuration settings from the initial server by replication.
The steps to install and configure a PGP Universal Server are as follows:
