Export a public key for the data share manager

Data Share Manager must be installed with a public key that grants access to the Teamcenter database. If this key has not been installed, users will receive an error message stating "The Task File "file-name.plmd" required the key file "key-file-name.x509", which was missing". By default, each Teamcenter database contains a private/public key pair that validates Data Share Manager clients accessing the database. Export and install the public key as follows. Procedure Export the public key using the install_datasharekeys utility: Copy install_datasharekeys -u=username -p=password -g=dba -f=exp_pubkey This exports a *.pem file and a *.x509 key file. Zip the resulting *.x509 key file into a keys.zip file. (The .pem file is not needed in the ZIP file.) Ensure the *.x509 file is in a \keys directory in the keys.zip file so it can be properly read by installers. If users need access to multiple databases from their client, export a public key for each database and add it to the keys.zip file. Distribute the public keys to individuals who need to install the Data Share Manager in either of the following ways: keys.zip file Distribute the keys.zip file to users and tell them to point to this file when they install the Data Share Manager using the stand-alone installer. Individual key files Distribute the *.x509 key files directly to end users and tell them to place the files into their keys directory after installation using the stand-alone installer. For example, on a Windows machine that uses the stand-alone installation, end users copy the key files to the C:\Users\username\Siemens\dsmgr\dm\keys directory. If multiple users may use the machine, copy the key files to data_manager_install\dm\keys.
