[Former Member]

I am doing File --XI --- File scenario with secure connection.

I have closed my last thread.

Currently consider only File -- XI part now.

We go point by point: for this link:

1. In the visual admin of XI I will make Server Public and Private keys.

2. In the visual admin of XI I will make Client Public and Private keys.

3. Now which will be server (File Sender System or XI)?

4. Please explain me next steps like Export keys and Import keys

Where I have to Export and where I have to Import.?

Do I need to export and import Server Private Key or Client Private Key.

Thanks in Advance. Full Points will be awarded.

In the first part (file -> XI) The file system will be the "server" since XI will be connecting to the File system.

You will need to export the XI public key and import that in the File Server.

And

You must export the File Server public key and import into XI.

Do not export any private keys!

Hi ,

In the first part (file -> XI) The file system will be the "server"

You suggestion:

1.You will need to export the XI public key and import that in

the File Server.

2.You must export File Server public key and import into XI.

Please let me know in detail how to complete how to complete Point 1 and Point 2 as I am confused in this part.

You should be able to export the certificate from the visual administrator. This certificate should be given to the administrators of the external system to import.

They should then provide you with their public key certificate, which you will have to import into the visual administartor.
