Each node must have its own version of a local private key.
To create a private key for a node, execute the following command on each node:
openssl genrsa -out KEY_FILE KEY_SIZE
Where:
- KEY_FILE is the path to the key file you want to create.
- KEY_SIZE is the number of bytes for the key. Apigee recommends that you use either 4096 or 8192.
For example:
openssl genrsa -out local_key.pem 8192
This command creates an RSA private key file named local_key.pem
which has no public
key component.
