Adding an SSH private and public host key pair

You can add an SSH private and public host key pair for SFTP file transfers. SSH private and public host key pairs are necessary to send and receive files from your configured SFTP host servers.

To add an SSH private public host key pair:

1. Log in to AS4 Microservice as a Master Account Administrator or a user with the permissions to create SSH keys.
2. Click Security > SSH Keys.
3. Click New > Private/Public Host Key Pair.
4. On the Create SSH key page, specify values for the applicable fields as follows:

   Associated Organization

   Click Select to select the owner organization with which the key pair is associated.

   SSH Key File

   Click Browse... to browse and upload an SSH keystore.

   Restriction: For a private and public key pair, the SSH key file must be a valid PKCS1 formatted keystore. The keystore must also be encrypted. If the keystore is not encrypted, it is rejected by the system.

   Keystore Password

   Enter the password to decrypt the PKSC1 keystore.

   Alias

   Enter a unique alias. An alias enables the system to recognize the particular key file.

   Description

   Optional: Enter a description for the private and public host key pair.

5. Click Save SSH Key to save the SSH key and return to the SSH Keys collection page.
