SFTP PGP - Module - Supported key file types?

Former Member — Tue, 25 Apr 2017 19:32:17 GMT

cusersgeorge-applegatedesktoppgp-sftp.pngI've created pgp keys using gpg.exe and written out a public and private, sent the public to the 3rd party and understand I need to put the private key on the PI server in

usr/sap/<System ID>/<Instance ID>/sec

but what key files are supported in this directory (as per image) ? ASC files as per gpg's output or do I need to convert them to some other extension to be PI compatible or should I import them into nwa as a p12?

George,

The extension really doesn't matter , i usually use the ASC format directly and configure the same in channel.

PGP keys are not supposed to be imported in NWA , you need to place then in one of the folder in OS level or you can keep them in B2B Cockpit if u have .

Additionally to that your PGP decryption should be first in the sequence for more details :

Hi George,

As Manoj said - PGPDecryption should call before call SAP Adapter and .ascextension should work well.

But, I doubt pgp key supports .txt extension. I can see .txt extension for the keys you have configured in your CC module parameter.

Thanks,
Apu
