Creating an SFTP Server Alias
 
Editing an SFTP Server Alias
An SFTP server alias is a named set of parameters that Integration Server uses to connect to an SFTP server.
Important: You must create at least one SFTP server alias before creating an SFTP user alias.
* To create an SFTP server alias
1. Open Integration Server Administrator.
2. In the Navigation panel, select Settings > SFTP.
3. Click Create Server Alias.
4. Under SFTP Server Alias Properties, provide the following information:
Parameter
Specify
Alias
A name for the SFTP server alias.
An SFTP server alias name:
*Can contain only underscores (_) and periods (.) as special characters.
*Cannot begin with the string "http://".
*Can be of a maximum length of 255 characters.
Host Name or IP Address
The host name or IP address of the SFTP server.
Port Number
The port number of the SFTP server. The port number must be within the range of 0 and 65535 (inclusive).
Preferred Key Exchange Algorithms
The algorithms that Integration Server presents to the SFTP server for key exchange.
You can specify the order in which Integration Server presents the algorithms to the SFTP server by moving the available algorithms up or down by clicking Up or Down. The SFTP server has its own set of preferred algorithms configured. At the time of key exchange, one of the algorithms supported by both Integration Server and the SFTP server will be chosen.
Proxy Alias
The proxy alias through which the request is to be routed. The proxy alias can be HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS. If a proxy alias is not specified, Integration Server makes outbound requests using each enabled proxy server alias until the request is sent successfully or all proxy servers have been tried. For more information about proxy aliases, see Creating a Proxy Server Alias.
Host Key Location
The location of the public key of the SFTP server. Integration Server validates the SFTP server using the public key of the SFTP server.
Important: The public key file must be present on the same machine in which you have installed Integration Server.
If you do not have the public key of the SFTP server, click Get Host Key. Integration Server will retrieve the public key for the host and port you specified and save it in a temporary folder. Integration Server will then display the path to the temporary folder in Host Key Location field.
5. Click Save Changes.
Integration Server stores the SFTP server alias configuration including the host key information in the Integration Server_directory /instances/instance_name/config/sftp/sftpServerAliases.cnf file.
