Key Formatting
DataBlend does not support all formats of keys. A few things to keep in mind:
-
Open SSH-RSA keys are not support and should be converted to an RSA key in PEM format
-
This should only be a format change and the actual key and its contents do not change
-
Whomever generated the key will likely be able to provide the updated format
-
-
PGP is a type of encryption and the applicable key should be put into the encryption box and not the private key box within the DataBlend UI
-
Avoid tools like Microsoft Word for transferring keys as it can adjust the format and cause issues leveraging the key. Notepad or an alternative is recommended.
