About this procedure

Every key in PassPort must be associated with exactly one certificate entity. Before you can import keys, you must create an entity.

Procedure

  2. PassPort opens the partner management screen.
  3. Click the partner that represents the remote partner (Partner_remote) to open the summary screen for that partner.
  4. Select the Security tab.
  5. In the Available keys section click Import.
  6. PassPort opens the Import key wizard.
  7. Enter a name for the imported key and then use the Browse... tool to locate and select your trading partner's key, (the one the remote server will use to secure the connection).
  8. Click OK.
