titleExample of a public key request template issued by Axepta Support

Please note the following information in order to set up the provision of reconciliation files via sFTP:


  1. Please find our public key attached.
  2. Please provide us with your PGP public key in .asc format (with an RSA length of at least 4096 Bit).
  3. Please send us a public SSH key in .ssh format (the command for creating an SSH key is as follows: ssh-keygen -b 4096 -t rsa).


It is necessary to assign an email address to your public PGP key as it will act as an identifier.


We recommend that you do not use a private email address but an email address from the company's domain.


We will complete the configuration of your account and send you your access data by e-mail after receiving your data.


Step 3: Generate SSH and PGP key pairs and send to support


Step 3.1: Generate Key Pairs

The Merchant (its integrator or IT department) generates SSH and PGP key pairs.

SSH and PGP systems use so-called asymmetric encryption modes characterized by the use of a key pair.

This pair is composed of:

  1. an encryption key called a public key
  2. a decryption key called a private key


Info
titleUsing keys
  1. SSH keys are used to secure exchanges (inc. authentication) between the merchant's information system and the Axepta sFTP server
  2. PGP keys are used to encrypt and decrypt the reconciliation file.


Warning
titlePrerequisite:
  1. The command for creating an SSH key looks like this: ssh-keygen -b 4096 -t rsa.
  2. The PGP key must have an RSA length of at least 4096 Bit.
  3. The PGP key must be in .asc format



Step 3.2: Send to Support

The merchant sends his SSH and PGP public keys to Axepta Support, specifying his MID.
