Adding OPENPGPKEY

1

Hi,

Based on this wizard; Generate DNS OPENPGPKEY Record
I want to add OPENPGPKEY-record(s), but is does not accept my input.

I keep getting the following error;

Record content for type OPENPGPKEY malformed: Incorrect padding

What am I doing wrong?

Hi Erwin,

Thanks for your message, and welcome to deSEC! :slight_smile:

It’s hard to say without the record content. Can you share it?

Stay secure,
Peter

From the error message, it appears that the BASE64 encoded key is not padded to a length that is divisible by 4. Just append one or two = characters so that its length is a multiple of 4.

You are right! I have added an extra = at the end and it work.

Thank you very much @GenericUser.

@peter is this something which can be check during entering the value?
Or make the error message a little bit more clear?

Thanks,
