Scheduled events with PGP decryption

, ,
1

Hello all,

does anyone have experience using PGP file decryption with MFT events?
More specifically, has anyone used wm.mft.security.pgp:generatePGPKeyFiles to
generate PGP keys and then use the private key to decrypt a
file in a MFT event?

If you have success doing this, could you please go in detail on how you decrypted the file using an MFT event
as an example?

I ask because currently I am using MFT event to download a PGP encrypted file from an FTP server.
The file was encrypted with Kleopatra using the public key that was generated by webMethods. I try to decrypt it using an MFT event with the decrypt action but it fails. I have tried many different ways with no luck.

any help would be appreciated.

thanks

Hi Cory,

Did you find a way to decrypt the file?

Could you please share it, if you managed to do.

Thanks,
Hari

I have it working. To decrypt PGP files using webMethods MFT you must use PGP keys generated by webMethods. From my testing, I was not able to get PGP keys generated from 3rd party software to work with MFT decryption.

Hi Corry,

Do you mean that if we are using a third party MFT solutions, & then trying to decrypt using wM PGP will not work ?

Do let me know , as we are trying to decrypt the file generated by third part MFT solution with wM @ our end.

We did not use the wm.mft.security.pgp:generatePGPKeyFiles to generate our keys.
We are using the Active Transfer Decrypt and have no issue. We add our secret ring to the Decryption Key File and it works.
