Overview

UDMG (Universal Data Mover Gateway) is a business-to-business MFT (Managed File Transfer) Solution. It provides the capabilities to securely manage File transfers with external business partners (i.e. Customers or Suppliers), and between any endpoint in today’s Hybrid-IT infrastructure, on-premises, or in the cloud (public and or private). It also comes up with a keystore for PGP public and private keys.

This Universal Extension provides the capability to perform OpenGPG encryption and decryption on a file while keeping the PGP keys in the UDMG keystore.

Template NameExtension NameExtension Version
UDMG PGPue-mft-pgp1.0.1

Software Requirements

This integration requires a Universal Agent and a Python runtime to execute the Universal Task.

Software Requirements for Universal Template and Universal Task

Requires Python 3.7.0 or higher.

Requires _bz2 python library and the cryptography and cffi python modules.

Tested with the Universal Agent bundled Python distribution which provides all required dependencies.

Software Requirements for Universal Agent

Both Windows and Linux agents are supported.

  • Universal Agent for Windows x64 Version 7.1.0.0 and later with python options installed.
  • Universal Agent for Linux Version 7.1.0.0 and later with python options installed.

    Note: For Debian Linux, the Agent software package may not contain all dependencies. For versions below 7.1.0.3 and 7.2.0.2, it is required to install both the Agent bundled Python and the Debian system Python 3.7.

Software Requirements for Universal Controller

Universal Controller Version 7.1.0.0 and later.

Network and Connectivity Requirements

Universal Agent requires connectivity towards the UDMG server REST API.

Key Features

This Universal Extension provides the following key features:

  • Actions
    • Encrypt a file.
    • Decrypt a file.
  • File Management
    • Source file can be deleted after processing.
    • Source file can be archived to a specific after processing.
  • Key Management
    • PGP keys are retrieved online from UDMG without keeping them in files or keyrings.
  • Other
    • Binary or ASCII armored format.
    • Internal encryption without the need for GPG tool.

Import Universal Template

To use the Universal Template, you first must perform the following steps.

  1. This Universal Task requires the Resolvable Credentials feature. Check that the Resolvable Credentials Permitted system property has been set to true.

  2. To import the Universal Template into your Controller, follow the instructions here.

  3. When the files have been imported successfully, refresh the Universal Templates list; the Universal Template will appear on the list.

Configure Universal Task

For a new Universal Task, create a new task, and enter the required input fields.

Extension Output

In the context of a workflow, subsequent tasks can rely on the information provided by this integration as Extension Output.

Attribute changed is populated as follows"

  • false, in case no file was processed.
  • true, in case the file was processed.

The Extension output contains attribute result. Attribute result contains the following sub-attributes:

AttributeTypeDescription
encrypted_filestringThe name of the file that is encrypted,
the input file for Decrypt action, the output file for Encrypt action
decrypted_filestringThe name of the file that is not encrypted,
the output file for Decrypt action, the input file for Encrypt action
embedded_filenamestringThe original filename that is embedded in the gpg message, if any

An example of the Extension Output for file encryption is presented below.
