Complete Post-Provisioning Tasks for an MFT Cluster Service Type

After provisioning an Oracle Managed File Transfer (MFT) Cluster, you need to perform several post-provisioning tasks for the service to work correctly.

MFT includes an embedded sFTP server. However by default, the sFTP server is disabled after MFT provisioning. You need to enable the sFTP server so that it can receive encrypted messages from partners using public/private key encryption. In this encryption and connection process, the private key decrypts messages that were encrypted using the associated public key. As illustrated in the diagram below, the private key is placed in the embedded sFTP server, and the partners/sFTP clients get a copy of the public key.
