Parameter | Specify | |
Alias | A name for the alias. An SFTP user alias name: Can contain only underscores (_) and periods (.) as the special characters. Cannot begin with the string "http://". Can be of a maximum length of 255 characters. | |
User Name | The user name for the SFTP user account. | |
Authentication Type | The type of authentication that Integration Server uses to authenticate itself to the SFTP server. Client authentication can be either by password or by public and private keys. | |
Select | To | |
Password | Use password authentication. | |
Public Key | Authenticate Integration Server by using public and private keys. To use this authentication type, the SFTP server and Integration Server must each have access to their own private key and each other's public key. If you select public key authentication, Integration Server saves the private key file in the Integration Server_directory /instances/instance_name/config/sftp/identities folder. | |
Password | If you are using password authentication, enter the password for the specified user to connect to the SFTP server. | |
Re-type Password | Re-enter the above password. | |
Private Key Location | If you selected Public Key as the authentication type, enter the location of the private key of the specified SFTP user. | |
PassPhrase | If you selected Public Key as the authentication type and if the private key you specified requires a passphrase, enter the passphrase for the private key file of the specified user. | |
Re-type PassPhrase | Re-enter the above passphrase. | |
SFTP Server Alias | The alias of the SFTP server to which you want the specified user to connect. | |
Maximum Retries | The number of times Integration Server attempts to connect to the SFTP server. The maximum allowed value is 6. The minimum allowed value is 1. The default is 6 retries. | |
Connection Timeout (seconds) | The amount of time (measured in seconds) Integration Server waits for a response from the SFTP server before timing out and terminating the request. The default is 0, which indicates that the session will never time out. | |
Session Timeout (minutes) | The number of minutes you want Integration Server to wait before terminating an idle session. The default is 10 minutes. | |
Strict Host Key Checking | Whether Integration Server verifies the host key of the SFTP server before establishing a connection to the SFTP server. | |
Select | To | |
Yes | Allow Integration Server to verify the host key of SFTP server against the host key that was imported during the SFTP server alias configuration. If the host key is found to be the same, then Integration Server establishes a connection to SFTP server, else the connection to SFTP server fails. | |
No | Prevent Integration Server from verifying the host key of SFTP server during connection. | |
Note: For added security, Software AG recommends you to choose Yes and enable the host key verification. | ||
Compression | Whether or not to compress the data to reduce the amount of data that is transmitted. Integration Server supports compression using the compression algorithm zlib. Note: You can use compression only if the SFTP server that you are connecting to supports compression. | |
Select | To | |
zlib | Compress the data that is transmitted between the SFTP server and Integration Server. | |
None | Not compress the data. | |
Compression Level | The compression level to use if you selected the compression algorithm zlib in the Compression field. The minimum allowed value is 1 (fast, less compression). The maximum allowed value is 6 (slow, most compression). The default is 6. |
