ERP- Generate PGP Key Pair in Oracle Fusion Using Advanced Create

Introduction

In Oracle Fusion, a PGP key pair can be generated from Manage Transmission Configuration using the Advanced Create option.

The generated key pair consists of:

• Private Key – securely maintained in Oracle Fusion.
• Public Key – generated by Fusion and made available in UCM.

The public key can be downloaded from UCM and subsequently used in Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) for PGP-based encryption or other applicable security requirements.

This blog explains the complete process using Advanced Create.

Use Case

The objective is to generate a PGP key pair in Oracle Fusion and make the public key available in OIC.

High-Level Flow

Oracle Fusion

     |

Manage Transmission Configuration

     |

Advanced Create

     |

Generate PGP Key pair( private & Public)                   |   

Export to UCM

     |

 Download  keys to use in oic.

                         

Step 1: Go to Manage Transmission Configurations

Log in to the Oracle Fusion application >> Navigate to My Enterprise >> Setup and Maintenance >> Search >> Search with Manage Transmission Configurations >> click to open Manage Transmission Configuration

Step 2: Create PGP Key pair.

Select "Secure File Transfer protocol for static file names >> add a configuration name >> Provide PGP Private key password >>click on the dropdown list for PGP private Signing Key field >> select Advanced create option >>Select the PGP Key attributes as per required.

A typical configuration can include:

Key Type       : RSA

Key Size       : 2048 / 3072 / 4096

Expiration Date   : As per project requirement

Encryption Algorithm     : AES128/AES192/AES256

Hash Algorithm : SHA256/SHA384

Compression    : BZIP2/ZIP/ZLIB

Step 3: Export the PGP key pair.

Step4: Download keys from UCM

Go to fusion UCM : https://<fusion hostname>/cs > search with key name prefix and click actions >> info > click to download the file.

Step 5: Configure the Public Key in OIC

The downloaded Fusion public key can now be configured in OIC according to the integration requirement.

Public Key vs Private Key

Understanding the purpose of each key is important.

Public Key : The public key can be distributed to the system that needs to encrypt information for the private-key owner.

Private Key: The private key must be protected and should not be distributed unnecessarily.

It is used for operations such as:

• Decryption
• Digital signing

Conclusion

Using Advanced Create in Oracle Fusion's Manage Transmission Configuration provides a controlled way to generate a PGP key pair with the required cryptographic parameters.
