Configuring SSH Connection Settings
Use this procedure to configure SSH connection settings for SFTP ports.
SSH connection settings include the following:
Default character encoding that controls how ASCII characters are encoded when being sent to a client.
Whether to use asynchronous threading to enable tasks to run in parallel. Asynchronous threading is useful to transfer a file to multiple external locations at the same time instead of sequentially.
Number of seconds to wait before disconnecting an idle connection.
Handshake options to use when establishing a secure connection with a partner.
To set SSH connection settings
1. In My webMethods: Administration > Integration > Managed File Transfer > Server Management.
3. On the Ports tab, select an SFTP port from the list of ports.
4. Click the Advanced tab.
5. In the SSH Connection Settings section, click the Text Encoding list and select the encoding format you want to work with. In general, most clients use the UTF-8 encoding.
6. If you want to use asynchronous threading, select the Use Asynchronous Threading check box.
7. If you want to specify a timeout value for disconnecting an idle connection, type the number of seconds in the Idle Timeout box.
8. Select either or both of the handshake options to use when you establish a secure connection with a partner:
If you want to make the password mandatory when the certificate handshake is passed, select
Require Password Authentication.
If you require a certificate or public key, select
Require Public Key Authentication. Whether password-based authentication is mandatory or not, authentication is done with the public key alone.
9. Click Save.
