Solved: Linux Inventory Agent file - RPM-GPG-KEY-FlexeraSoftwareLLC

kstaude · ‎May 20, 2019

Hi everyone -

I've noted that in the 2019 R1 FNMS installer, within the "Linux X86" folder there is a file called "RPM-GPG-KEY-FlexeraSoftwareLLC" with what looks like GnuPG key of sorts. Does anyone have information of what this key is needed for if at all when installing Linux agents?

This is the public key that can be used to validate the signature on the RPM package.

If your agent deployment approach requires the signature on the RPM package to be validated, before installing the agent you can install the public key by:

$ rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY-FlexeraSoftwareLLC

On a computer where the public key has been installed, you can verify the agent installer RPM by:

$ rpm -K managesoft-*.rpm

See the following page for more information: Signing of Linux RPM packages (ignore the information on this page about downloading the public key file--you have already found it).
