Generating a PGP Key Pair

Within an SAP Cloud Integration for data services organization, generate a single PGP key pair.

The key pair contains a public key and a private key. The organization public key can be sent to third-parties who can use it to encrypt data. SAP Cloud Integration for data services can decrypt the data using the organization private key.
  1. If the SAP Data Services Agent configuration program is not already running. start it.
    • On Windows platforms, run configureAgent.bat.

    • On Linux platforms, run configureAgent.sh.

    Note
    You must run the configuration program from a user account that has administrative privileges. On Windows platforms that have User Account Control (UAC) enabled, you can also choose the Run as administrator option.
    By default, the configuration program is located in the directory where you installed the SAP Data Services Agent.
  2. Select Configure PGP.
  3. Select Generate a key pair for your organization.
    1. Select the key size, hash algorithm, and symmetric algorithm appropriate for your requirements.
    2. Enter a user ID.
      The user ID is the name bound to the public key. It can be an email address, name, or other identifying information.
  4. Select Apply.
A PGP key pair is generated and saved to the host system where your SAP Data Services Agent is installed.
