Hi Dojo,
I'm trying to establish connection between DM and Linux server through public-private key. I've checked on this question that 3DES encryption is needed by keys to establish the connection. I would like to know if it is possible to use RSA encryption on these keys.
Thanks!
DataMiner supports both RSA and DSA key pairs for authentication purposes. The private key can remain either unencrypted or for added security encrypted with 3DES in Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode using a passphrase. 3DES-CBC is currently the only cipher that DataMiner supports to decrypt the private key.
To be clear, RSA encryption is used for creating the key pair itself, but not for encrypting the private key file. The latter is typically done with symmetric encryption (e.g. AES, 3DES).
In case you want to convert your keys to the format DataMiner is expecting, OpenSSL should have a range of different tools to assist you with that.
Hi Daniel, I was able to use the following key generation method using powershell on Windows to get scp file transfer working between DMA and Linux. It might work for you also, let us know.
Thanks for the link Steve, I will try it.
Thanks for the explanation Jeroen!
