Hi
I am trying to use openssl to generate RSA keys and use it in PeopleSoft. But
PeopleSoft requires keys in hex notation with specific keysize of 168 which I
am
not able to generate with openSSL. Please let me know if anyone has experience
working with OpenSSL for PeopleSoft.Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Use Entered Value Select this option to use key values that aren't in the
PeopleSoft keystore. Enter a key value that's formatted appropriately for the
algorithm that you're configuring. This value will be entered into the PET
keyset table, not the PeopleSoft keystore.
The value that you enter has a length that depends on the keysize of the
cipher.
For triple DES with keysize 112, this is 16 bytes. For a keysize of 168, this
is
24 bytes. This value should be represented in hex notation.
You must generate the key value that you enter here. You can use any key
generation utility capable of producing hex encoded keys of the required
length.
PeopleSoft delivers the core OpenSSL command line program precompiled and ready
to use. You can use it to generate key values and perform other
encryption-related tasks. The executable program is
PS_HOME\bin\server\WINX86\openssl.exe on Windows, and PS_HOME/bin/openssl on
Unix and Linux platforms.
