Unable to import certificate
Reported by Adam Wasserman | November 8th, 2012 @ 12:33 PM | in 1.0 (closed)
Hello,
I have a public certificate with one master/subkey pair that I cannot import into GPG Keychain. The master has signed itself with one user id and the subkey has a binding signature from the master key. However, when I try and import them from the command line, I get this error:
gpg: key E6ED9330: no valid user IDs
gpg: this may be caused by a missing self-signature
To be frank, this certificate was generated by software that I'm creating. However, I can import it just fine in other PGP software. So I'm curious, what is wrong here? Is it the certificate or the way GPG Keychain is analyzing the certificate?
The master's self-signature does not explicitly specify the userid in question as the primary user id. However, I couldn't find in the rfc 4880 that one must be explicitly designated as such. One must simply be present.
(Side note: I've noticed that GPG Keychain uses the last such signature to pick the primary user id as opposed to the first.)
I've attached the certificate in question.
many thanks,
Adam

Hi Adam,
the error message you're seeing is directly from gnupg, which complains about missing uids.
Which other PGP software does accept this key? -

I'm setting this to invalid. Adam, could you simply open a new discussion on our support page here: http://support.gpgtools.org/home
Just include a link to this ticket here. Once we've figured out what the problem is, we'll create ticket in our ticket system.
Best,
