Import user's certificates into pragma

Is there a way to import users' existing public keys into Pragma (for SSH). We are using the registry to store them and we would like to avoid having to force users to resupply their keys once we move them to the pragma fortress system.

Thanks.

Hello,

Unfortunately, we do not have a key management utility at this time to allow you to manually move keys inside the registry. The registry storage requires a password caching that cannot be done without user interaction.

If you were going to transfer users from one Pragma Fortress Server to another, then you could use a registry export/import to move the keys, but you cannot do this from a different server.

I recommend using the auto-storage feature and have your users connect with their key as they normally will. They will be prompted for the password at the first connection, allowing us to store the key in the registry, then any further logons will be performed as usual without user interaction.
