Hmmm, and when it prompts you for your private key and you upload it, you say it just times out (gives a blank screen)?

Nope, I type in my passphrase, it says;

Hmm, thanks a lot man for helping me with this, I really appreciate it!

The problem is that it's timing out when sending your private key to our server over an encrypted connection. I just tested this so it does work under some conditions, but apparently not all of them. What happens when you follow the steps contained in the error message? In IE under Help | About, it should say "Cipher Strength: 128 bit" and if you go to Tools | Internet Options | Advanced | Security, you should have "Use SSL 2.0" and "Use SSL 3.0" selected. Is any of this not the case?

Thanks again man we'll get this working eventually :smile:.

Peace,

I guess I am a complete idiot !! I used the link above and It prompty me for my user name and pass word. I entered it just like I do to enter the forum and it says my information is wrong. I have pms I can't read because my passphrase is wrong. And the file that is on my computer was wrong but it doesn't even give me this option anymore so I can't even tells you what it says.

Hey,

Nothing idiotic about it, I just need to make the secure PMs work better. I'm kind of confused about why you're having this problem but hopefully I can help get it resolved. First of all, the pass phrase which you entered to set up secure private messages is not necessarily the same as your BB password. Make sure you're not getting them confused, and also be sure you're entering the passphrase exactly the same as when you set it up since it's case sensitive. Also, if you're no longer being prompted for the file on your computer (your private key) it sounds like it was loaded successfully. Why do you say it was wrong?

Peace,

-Y

I can't veiw my messages. The password that your test prompts me for is the same to enter the forum not to veiw messages correct? this is what I entered. My password not passphrase. Actually I made the passphrase very basic. so I think I am entering it correctly. I was sure it was correct before but I am now second guesssing myself. What if I am entering it incorrectly? It doesn't prompt me for the key anymore but says the passphrase entered is incorrect.

I'm sorry I had the wrong URL in my message for a few minutes, I changed it but the right URL is:

https://www.shroomery.org/pubssl/testsecurepm.php

Does that work for you?

And there is NO way of getting the password reset? You know in case someone (me) forgot their password.

Re: New Feature: Secure Private Messages! [Re: MrMaddHatter]

I added a "forgot your passphrase" link to secure private messages. This will allow you to create a new keypair if you've forgotten your passphrase so you can continue to use secure PMs. Hope this helps!

Great great job.

i always use firefox, i haven't cleared my cookies and not using a different computer neither installed a different browser. Just can't find the "bOemius Private Key.txt" anywhere in my computer?! Where should it be?? I did several searches and nothing :frown:
Should i "Recreate Keypair" and thus loose the ability to read the already sent Pm's.

i've managed to find the place where it was the link to save the private key and the link to delete it from the shroomery server. I saved correctly my private key, but now i can't find again that place to delete it from the shroomery server... May i assume that after i've saved it, the private key is automatically removed from the server? Well things are working just fine and must say "small step to man, great step to mankind", thanks Ythan you're the man that make this come true

But, it seems that nobody is using it
Just because it has a few bugs?

It has enough bugs that I can barely ever read my messages. It's a little frustrating.

At the moment there are no known bugs with the secure PMs so I'd really like to figure out why it's not working for you. What happens when you try and view an encrypted PM? What is the output when you visit this page: http://www.shroomery.org/pubssl/testsecurepm.php ? I'd definitely like to resolve any outstanding issues so people can use secure PMs as easily as insecure ones.

Peace,

I know this is old as fuck thread, but I gotta question. I recieved a secure message. I don't know what my passkey is. How do I retreive this? If I just change it, can I still receive this message? It says I already have one set up, but I don't remember doing that

You must have set it up a long time ago.  You need to make a new one.  You'll need to ask the sender to resend after you do this.
