Cloning variant PGP keys to the CTE by using the System-generated flow

You can clone a variant type PGP key to the CTE by using the system-generated flow.

About this task

For deploying a variant type PGP key to the CTE by using the system-generated flow, refer to the following procedure.

Procedure

  1. From the PGP keys list page, select a PGP key to clone.
    The PGP key details page opens.
  2. From the CTE tab, select a version of the PGP key you want to clone.
    The Clone key action is unavailable until you select a PGP key version previously deployed. The action also remains unavailable when you select the latest deployed version of the PGP key.
  3. From the Clone key drop down, select whether you want to clone the PGP key to CTE.
    If you select to both, you can deploy the PGP key to both the CTE and production environments. For more information, see here. If you select to production, you can deploy the PGP key to only the production environment and skip the CTE. For more information, see here.
  4. Optional: On the Clone PGP key modal, after selecting to CTE in Step 3, enter the reason for cloning the PGP key in the Reason for cloning (optional) text field.
  5. Click Clone.
    Clicking Clone creates and deploys a cloned version of the PGP key to the CTE.
    A new version of the PGP key is now created. The status of the PGP key is changed from Final to Work in progress. You can view information on the banner.

    • Update the Email ID.
    • Select the Key algorithm type from the drop down.
    • Select the Key size (in bits) from the drop down.
    • Toggle Set key to expire to enable it.
    • Update the description by using the Description (optional) text field.
  7. To regenerate a PGP public key by using the same passphrase, select the Yes option. Otherwise, select No.

  9. Click Deploy to CTE.
  10. To test your PGP key on a connection, select the Yes check box.
  11. To finish deploying the PGP public key to CTE, click Finish.
    The status of the key changes from Work in progress to Final. And the lock icon changes from Unlock to Lock to indicate that the PGP key is ready to be locked by another user. You can view that a new version of the PGP public key is now available in the CTE tab on the PGP key details page.
