Cloning variant PGP keys to production by using the Upload flow

You can clone a variant PGP that you previously deployed to the production environment to both the CTE and production environment.

About this task

For cloning a variant type PGP key, refer to the following procedure.
Note: The scenario covers the documentation for deploying to only the production environment.

Procedure

  1. From the PGP keys list page, select a PGP key to clone.
    The PGP key details page opens.
  2. From the Production 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, to production, or to both.
    If you select to CTE, you can skip the production environment by deploying the PGP key to only the CTE. For more information, see here. If you select to both, you can deploy the PGP key to both the CTE and production environments. For more information, see here.
  4. Optional: On the Clone PGP key modal, after selecting to production 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 production environment.
    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.
  6. Optional: On the Production configurations page, edit the PGP key description by using the Description (optional) text field.
  7. Optional: If you want to upload a new PGP public key, click Upload a new key.
  8. Click Deploy to production.
    The status of the key changes from Work in progress to Final. The new PGP key version is now live and has the Live in production tag. 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 Production tab on the PGP key details page. For the cloning details, refer to the Deployed to CTE, Deployed to production, and Cloned from fields.
