Follow these steps:

  1. From the Administration menu, select Trading Partner > PGP > PGP Public Key.
  2. Next to Check-in a new PGP public key, click Go!.
  3. Enter the following information and click Next.
    Field Name Description

    • The system supports .gpg, .pgp, .asc, .pkr, and .skr as supported formats for Public Key check-in.
