Title: Re: openssl and PeopleSoft
The key that is sought in this field is a symmetric key, not an asymmetric key.  This means that RSA is not the correct type of key.

Randomly generate a value, or use a particular passphrase and feed it into a key-derivation function for the number of bits in the cipher size.

Hi
 
I am trying to use openssl to generate RSA keys and use it in PeopleSoft. But PeopleSoft requires keys in hex notation with specific keysize of 168 which I am not able to generate with openSSL. Please let me know if anyone has experience working with OpenSSL for PeopleSoft.Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Use Entered Value

Select this option to use key values that aren't in the PeopleSoft keystore. Enter a key value that's formatted appropriately for the algorithm that you're configuring. This value will be entered into the PET keyset table, not the PeopleSoft keystore.

The value that you enter has a length that depends on the keysize of the cipher. For triple DES with keysize 112, this is 16 bytes. For a keysize of 168, this is 24 bytes. This value should be represented in hex notation.

You must generate the key value that you enter here. You can use any key generation utility capable of producing hex encoded keys of the required length. PeopleSoft delivers the core OpenSSL command line program precompiled and ready to use. You can use it to generate key values and perform other encryption-related tasks. The executable program is PS_HOME\bin\server\WINX86\openssl.exe on Windows, and PS_HOME/bin/openssl on Unix and Linux platforms.
