Configuring the Public Key: Client Sends or Receives PGP-Encrypted Data

Before we configure the transfers to support PGP, we must associate the client's PGP public key with the user performing the transfer. The user's PGP public key is used for two purposes:

• To verify the signature of the user that encrypted the file.

• To encrypt data sent to the user.

To configure the public key, complete the following steps.

Procedure

1. Go to Management > PGP Keys > Public Keys > Add PGP Key.

2. Enter the required information described in the table below:

   Field	Instruction
   Apply Key to	Select user.
   Select User	Select the user that initiates the transfer.
   Status	Set to Enabled.
   Set as Default Key	Sets key that is used to encrypt data.
   PGP Text Area	Enter the PGP public key in the text box.

3. Click Continue to configure the public key.

   Note: Click OK or Continue as needed until the key is added.
