How to generate public key in the File Server using Stat (4368992)

Stat can generate both, public and private keys. You can then export the public keys from Stat to the SFTP server. In this case, the private key is automatically stored in the Stat repository.

1. Go to Maintenance | General | Object Types | select the file server and make the sure port is set to 22 using the public key auth type.
2. In the auth type column, click on the public key.
3. Select the key generation method. In this case, we are using RSA 2048.
4. Click on the Public Key Config button.
5. Click the generate button. By default, when generating a public key from Stat, Stat automatically adds the private key into the repository and gets encrypted. Therefore, there is no need to import a private key.
6. Export the public key that was generated in the View public key and appended it to the authorized_keys file in Unix.
