sample steps to create a key pair for use in the sftp transfer.



Please follow these sample steps to create a key pair for use in the sftp transfer.
Generate a key pair with a default name and location
When using public key authentication, the OpenSSH client by default looks for a private key named id_dsa or id_rsa in the $HOME/.ssh directory.
  1. On the system running the OpenSSH client, change directories to .ssh. If the .ssh directory does not exist, create it.
  2. Use the following command to create a key pair:
ssh-keygen –t <rsa or dsa>
Note: You must use the –t switch and specify a type, rsa or dsa. To see a list of available switches, use the command ssh-keygen -h, or check the man pages for more details.
The key generation utility will run for a few moments.
a.       Once the utility has generated the key pair, you are prompted to enter a file and the path in which to save the key. Accept the default file name and path.
b.      You are then prompted to enter and confirm a passphrase.
c.    After entering a passphrase, the location and names of the private and public keys are displayed. For example:
Your identification has been saved in /export/home/user/.ssh/id_dsa.
Your public key has been saved in /export/home/user/.ssh/id_dsa.pub.
Use the following command to convert the OpenSSH public key to IETF SECSH format, the format required by the Reflection SSH Windows or UNIX Server:
ssh-keygen -e -f <keyname>.pub > <keyname2>.pub

Once that is done please send the *.pub file to us and we can add it to your login and you should be able to sftp to the site.

Resolution This is a known issue. There is a workaround.  Workaround: As a workaround, try adding one empty column in the Multivalue picker without filling the options. So we can add one more column without filling the value which will be hidden(there is a button in the designer page that will hide the column). This way the end user will receive the same view.

  The Guardrails of Automation VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.0 has redefined private cloud automation. With full-stack automation powered by Ansible and orchestrated through vRealize Orchestrator (vRO), and version-controlled deployments driven by GitOps and CI/CD pipelines, teams can build infrastructure faster than ever.
