Step 1: Generate an RSA Key Pair

Generate an RSA Key Pair. For more information, see Build a Public and Private RSA Key.
Note
When generating RSA private keys for use with the Terraform artifactory_keypair resource, include the -traditional flag during key generation. Use the command:
```
openssl genrsa -traditional -out private-key.pem 2048
```
This ensures the private key is properly formatted and prevents the error:
```
Error: RSA private key is of the wrong type.
```

Step 2: Upload the RSA Pair Key

In the JFrog Platform UI, go to Administration module under Artifactory | Security | RSA Key Pairs and click Add New Key Pair.
Enter the RSA parameters generated when creating the RSA Key Pair.
Click Save.
