Where abouts in the registry does Fortress store the keys in the registry when the option "Automatically store keys in registry" is selected?

I've looked under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PragmaSystems but can't find anything that looks appropriate.

Thanks.

OK, I found it in fact. It's in the PAD key. Which is not accessible by default.

Hello,

The PAD key is hidden from general access to increase security on the keys there. We do not recommend any manual access to the keys in the registry. The program should be used to manage keys.

We need some way of synchronising keys between two load balanced FTP servers, so that clients are not asked to confirm their key twice.  The only things we can think of at the moment is to synchronise the keys in the registry.
