Securing the public and the private keys of your engine
Store the public and the private keys of an engine in a secure way to restrict the access to them.
Remote Engine generates its own key pair (RSA/4096 bits) during the pairing process. With Talend Remote Engine v2.12.5 onwards, this key pair is stored in a Java keystore in etc/keystores, secured with a password defined in a dedicated configuration file or as an environment variable.
If no password is defined, a random value is generated instead to ensure that the private key is still stored encrypted at rest.
Before you begin
- You have installed Talend Remote Engine.
- Your engine version is 2.12.5 onwards.
