public key/private key

[mmbb110]

Hi Community,

Can you help me with the steps to create a public/private key pair to use it in Adobe Io console while creating a project.

I looked at the available documentation but it looks like its not up to date.

while creating a project and configure API, I am looking to use the option # 2 which is create your own public/private key pair through terminal and upload your public key.

Thank you.

Hi,

https://docs.joyent.com/public-cloud/getting-started/ssh-keys/generating-an-ssh-key-manually/manuall...

Just generate the key as in the link above and upload it under Adobe io console.

Thanks,

David

@DavidKangni, I want to generate a public key with a custom expiration period, the public keys via Adobe io console have an expiration of one year by default hence I am looking for generating public key externally which will have custom expiration and I can then use it or upload it to the console.

Hi,

run the following command be sure to replace 365 by the number of days you want and  DATE with the current DATE 
openssl req -x509 -sha256 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout adobe_privatekey_DATE.key -out adobe_publickey_DATE.crt

Thanks,

David
