Creating a secret with integrity check

Creating a secret with integrity check

We now create a secret that uses the FortiProduct (SSH Key) secret template and PuTTY as the launcher.

This ensures that every time the secret is launched, it includes integrity check.

To create a secret with integrity check:
  1. Go to Secrets > Secret List.
  2. In Secret List, select Create.

    The Create New Secret in: dialog appears.

  3. Select the folder where you intend to add the secret.
  4. Select Create Secret.

    The New Secret window opens.

  5. Enter a name for the secret.
  6. In the Template dropdown, select FortiProduct (SSH Key).

    FortiProduct (SSH Key) is the template where we enabled integrity check for the PuTTY launcher in Enabling integrity check in the launcher and secret template.

  7. In the Fields pane:
    1. In Host, enter the IP address of the target server.
    2. In Username, enter the username for the target server.
    3. In Public-key, select Generate:
      1. In Type, select RSA encryption algorithm.
      2. In Bits, select 2048.
    4. In Passphrase, enter a passphrase.
    5. In the Confirm Passphrase field that appears after the passphrase is filled in, enter the passphrase again.
  8. Click Submit.
