Configuring the Public Key: Client Sends or Receives PGP-Encrypted Data With Target Server
Before we configure the server to support PGP, we must associate the PGP public key of the target server with the server definition.
The server PGP public key is used for the following purposes:
-
To verify the signature of the target server that encrypted the file
-
To encrypt data sent to the target server
To configure the public key, complete the following steps.
- Procedure
-
Go to Management > PGP Keys > Public Keys > Add PGP Key.
-
Enter the required information described in the table below:
Field Instruction Apply Key to Select server. Select Server Select the target server that initiates the transfer. Status Set to Enabled
.Set as Default Key Sets key that is used to encrypt data.
PGP Text Box Enter the PGP public key in the text box.
-
Click Continue to configure the public key to the target server.
Note: Click OK or Continue as needed until the key is added.
Only PGP-related parameters are discussed in the following four use cases:
-
MFT Internet Server Sends PGP-Encrypted Data to MFT Internet Server
-
MFT Internet Server Receives PGP-encrypted Data from a Target Server
Let's assume that the transfer and server definitions have already been created.
