12.2.2.8 Different ways of PPK File Registration

  1. Once the PPK file is generated it will create both private Key and public Key.
  2. Create a file with name authorized_keys. Permission should be 644.
  3. Place the public key inside authorized keys file present in ssh folder. Now verify once connecting to winscp using the Private Key file.

    In OFSAA Registration we can either give in any one of the following ways:

    Method 1:
    1. Create the PPK file individually in FIC server and EDQ server.
    2. Now move the PPK file generated to the simulation OFSAA FIC server deployed area. Note the path of the file here.
    3. Now register this path in the OFSAA registration for keys like PROD_auth_file_path,PROD_edq_auth_file_path,SIM_auth_file_path,SIM_edq_auth_file_pat h.
    Method 2:
    1. Create the PPK file only in simulation OFSAA FIC server alone.
    2. Now place the public key inside authorized keys file across different servers like PROD FIC Server, SIM FIC Server, PROD EDQ Server & SIM EDQ Server.
    3. Now place the PPK in the deployed area of the SIM OFSAA FIC server. Note the path of the file here.
    4. Now register this path in the OFSAA registration for all the keys like PROD_auth_file_path,PROD_edq_auth_file_path,SIM_auth_file_path,SIM_edq_auth_file_pat h.

    Note:

    Ensure that PPK Files are generated in Production FIC, Web servers, Simulation FIC, Web servers, EDQ servers and Public Keys of all the above servers are shared across in authorized_keys in all servers.
