From Wiki

This guide will walk you through the basics of using IBM Sterling File Gateway with native PGP to create and manage encryption keys, encrypt and decrypt files, and exchange secure messages.


This guide is complemented by the following articles:

Getting Started with Sterling File Gateway

1. Configure PGP on Sterling File Gateway Community

In the SFG UI in the main menu go to Participants > Communities

Click on the add button.

Add a community, example Company Community

Fill out all relevant information for this community:

  • Secret key for PGP signing: sterlingb2bserver-company-com
  • Secret key for PGP decrypting: sterlingb2bserver-company-com

Click Next and Finish.


2. Create a RCT for Decrypt

3. Create a RCT for Encrypt


Send Encrypted Files

In this example, the Sistem01 system will send a file to a business partner Company01.

Sterling File Gateway will encrypt the file with the Company01 public key.

For our test we are not using protocols, we will only send to the Mailbox.

To do this we will need:

1) Create partner Sistem01 and partner Company01

2) Import the public key of partner Company01 into Sterling B2B.

See IBM Sterling: Guide to Using PGP Native for Secure Data Exchange on IBM Sterling B2Bi#Importing_Public_Keys_from_Partners

3) Associate the imported public key with the Company01 partner profile

4) Create the channel between Sistem01 and Company01, using the template W_PGP_Encrypt

To test, simply send a FileName.txt file to the user

Create a Channel for Encrypt

  • Template Name: W_PGP_Encrypt
  • Producer: System01
  • Consumer: Company01
  • Mailbox Path: /System01/PGP_Encrypt

Receive Encrypted File and Decrypt file

Create a Channel for Decrypt

  • Template Name: W_PGP_Decrypt
  • Producer: Company02
  • Consumer: System02
  • Mailbox Path: /Company02/PGP_Decrypt
