I'm trying to pre-load users with Ansible, including adding the user's GPG/PGP key. It doesn't seem to work and the command help and error messages are unclear about how to proceed.
The help says this:
pgp_add <email> <keyring> Add PGP key
An ASCII armored .asc file is usually not called a "keyring", but "Add PGP key" seems to suggests it wants a key file.
# tcli user email pgp_add dave.dittrich@gmail.com ~/dittrich.asc
An error occured: openpgp: invalid argument: no armored data found
The error message saying "no armored data found" would seem to confirm that an ASCII armored public key file is what it is expecting. The key is valid, as GPG will import it (and it has the email address as specified):
# gpg --import ~/dittrich.asc
gpg: directory `/root/.gnupg' created
gpg: new configuration file `/root/.gnupg/gpg.conf' created
gpg: WARNING: options in `/root/.gnupg/gpg.conf' are not yet active during this run
gpg: keyring `/root/.gnupg/secring.gpg' created
gpg: keyring `/root/.gnupg/pubring.gpg' created
gpg: /root/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created
gpg: key 945AB127: public key "Dave Dittrich <dave.dittrich@gmail.com>" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: imported: 1 (RSA: 1)
Taking a wild guess that it really does mean "keyring", let's try that.
root@purple:~# tcli user email pgp_add dave.dittrich@gmail.com /root/.gnupg/pubring.gpg
An error occured: openpgp: invalid argument: no armored data found
Had an idea this could be a line ending problem, so I tried dos2unix on the .asc file. Still no luck.
