Create a new Public Key. As a system administrator within WFM,
navigate to Maintenance > System Administration > PGP Utilities > PGP Keys > Create New Entry.
On the PGP Key Details page, provide data for these fields:
Key Name: Provide a name for the Key. It must be unique among other
public keys.
Key Description: Provide a Description that helps to identify the
Key.
Protected Data: This data is hidden by asterisks after you create the
Key.
Also on the PGP Key Details page, from the list of available public keys,
select PGPEXPORTPUBLICKEY from the Key Type list.
When you are finished configuring properties for the Key, click Save.
Now you can use your supported encryption tool and the PGP
public key generated and exported from WFM to encrypt your import files.
As an example, on Windows you can use the GPG4win client
(named Kleopatra) to encrypt your files using text output (ASCII armor) with
the PGP public key that you exported from WFM. A similar process is used for
the Linux distribution of this tool.
After the file is encrypted it has a *.asc file extension in addition to the file extensions it already
had. If you open the file in a text editor, it appears as ASCII format (Base 64
encoding).
After your files are encrypted with the
PGP public key from WFM, you can set up a Job Scheduler task to import the files. For
information on how to do this, see Importing an Encrypted File into WFM.
