Maintaining Key Rings
The Key Ring maintenance function from the Administration menu is used to add, modify, and remove key ring definitions. To navigate to the option, select Admin, select Security, and select Key Ring.
Once within the function you may broadcast the key ring to maintain using the broadcast icon and use the Edit button to maintain the definition. You may use the Add function to add a new key ring entry.
When adding or maintaining a key ring the following information must be provided:
Save the additions/changes for the user using the Save function.
Generating Keys
Once the Key Ring is defined it must have at least one activated key pair. To generate a key pair, use the Generate Key button.
Once generated the key ring will appear in the Key Pairs zone with the appropriate fingerprint. To activate the key pair, use the Activate button to enable the key. It is recommended to only have one pair active for each key ring at most at any time. It is possible to support multiple, but this is not good security practice. Use the View under the Public Key column to view and pass on the public part of the key.
Note: The private key is not visible from the product in line with security standards.
