Root certificates thus need to be assigned validity (commonly called trust) manually, ⪚ after comparing the fingerprint with the one on the website of the &ca;.

The <varname>id</varname> is not interpreted by &kleopatra;, so you can use any string you like, as long as it's unique. </para> <para> The <varname>match-contexts</varname> limits the applicability of the filter. Two contexts are currently defined: The <literal>appearance</literal> context is used when defining coloring and font properties for the views. The <literal>filtering</literal> context is used to selectively include (and exclude) certificate from views. <literal>any</literal> can be used to signify all currently defined contexts, and is the default if <varname>match-contexts</varname> is not given, or otherwise produces no contexts. This ensures that no key filter can end up <quote>dead</quote>, &ie; with no contexts to apply it in. </para> <para> The format of the entry is a list of tokens, separated by non-word characters. Each of the tokens is optionally prefixed by an exclamation point (<literal>!</literal>), indicating negation. The tokens act in order on an internal list of contexts, which starts out empty. This is best explained by an example: <literal>any !appearance</literal> is the same as <literal>filtering</literal>, and <literal>appearance !appearance</literal> is producing the empty set, as is <literal>!any</literal>. However, the last two will be internally replaced by <literal>any</literal>, since they produce no contexts at all. </para> <para> In general, criteria not specified (&ie; the config entry is not set) are not checked for. If a criterion is given, it is checked for and must match for the filter as a whole to match, &ie; the criteria are AND'ed together. </para> <para> Each filter has an implied <quote>specificity</quote> that is used to rank all matching filters. The more specific filter wins over less specific ones. If two filters have the same specificity, the one that comes first in the config file wins. A filter's specificity is proportional to the number of criteria it contains. </para> <example> <title>Examples of key filters</title> <para> To check for all expired, but non-revoked root certificates, you would use a key filter defined as follows: </para> <!-- isn't there a better way to not indent this in the output??? --> <screen><!-- -->[Key Filter #<replaceable>n</replaceable>] Name=expired, but not revoked was-validated=true is-expired=true is-revoked=false is-root-certificate=true ; ( specificity 4 )<!-- --></screen> <para> To check for all disabled &openpgp; keys (not yet supported by &kleopatra;) with ownertrust of at least <quote>marginal</quote>, you would use: </para> <screen><!-- -->[Key Filter #<replaceable>n</replaceable>] Name=disabled OpenPGP keys with marginal or better ownertrust is-openpgp=true is-disabled=true is-at-least-ownertrust=marginal ; ( specificity 3 )<!-- --></screen> </example> </sect1> <sect1 id="admin-archive-definitions"> <title>Configuring Archivers for Use with Sign/Encrypt Files</title> <para> &kleopatra; allows the administrator (and power-user) to configure the list of archivers that are presented in the Sign/Encrypt Files dialog. </para> <para> Each archiver is defined in <filename>libkleopatrarc</filename> as a separate <literal>Archive Definition #<replaceable>n</replaceable></literal> group, with the following mandatory keys: </para> <variablelist> <varlistentry id="archive-definition-extensions"> <term><literal>extensions</literal></term> <listitem> <para> A comma-separated list of filename extensions that usually indicate this archive format. </para> </listitem> </varlistentry> <varlistentry id="archive-definition-id"> <term><literal>id</literal></term> <listitem> <para> A unique ID used to identify this archiver internally.

For example, the following will not work, since <literal>C:/myarchivescript.bat</literal> is an argument to <command>cmd.exe</command>, and <literal>/</literal> is not converted to <literal>\</literal> in arguments, only commands: <programlisting>pack-command=cmd.exe C:/myarchivescript.bat</programlisting> This needs, instead, to be written as: <programlisting>pack-command=cmd.exe C:\\myarchivescript.bat</programlisting> </para> </note> <sect2 id="admin-archive-definitions-filename-passing"> <title>Input Filename Passing for <literal>pack-command</literal></title> <para> There are three ways to pass filenames to the pack command.

Therefore, this is a safe way of passing filenames, but it might run into command line length restrictions on some platforms. A literal <literal>%f</literal>, if present, is replaced by the names of the files to archive. Otherwise, filenames are appended to the command line.
