How can I generate a public key authentication for SSH connection via FTP for SOA Application ( Wind

Hi there

We have been asked to provide a public authentication key to an external Vendor. I cant find a proper document on how to generate it in Fusion Middleware 12 C ( SOA, Weblogic)

Please advise

Hi mate,

The basic steps are:

1. You need a private/public key pair - you can create a pair if you don't have one

2. Store the private key on your server

3. Send the public key to the external vendor

4. Configure FTP Adapter to use public key authentication

Blog entry below has a good step-by-step...

For the step 1, if you need to create a pair you can use ssh-keygen as suggested on the blog, and I believe in 12c there is also a way to create a key-par using EM...

Hope this helps...

Cheers,

Vlad

You may look into other options to create your key pair... so you don't need to install software on your windows system...

1. Using EM

2. Using java keytool
