Generating the Security Key
Before you install the File Server remote site, you must generate security keys (public and private), export the public key and copy it to the remote site file system, and make it known to the remote site.
To generate security keys:
1. On the master site, select > > > .
The Site Management window opens.
2. Select the master site.
| Selecting the master site activates the Update Keys button. |
3. If there is an existing Key Generation Date for the keys displayed in the table, you can accept the value and do nothing, or click Update Keys to initiate the creation of the public and private keys. (Generating the keys requires several seconds.)
4. When the keys are created, select the master site again and then click Export Key.
5. Provide a name for the key, navigate to a storage location for the key, and save it as a file. The key must have the extension PUBKEY or KEY (for example, site1.pubkey).
