Edit online

Use this screen to define advanced parameters for your internal SFTP server. Refer to the field definitions in the following table.


Field Name	Description
Node Logging Level	Node Logging Level identifies the level of logging to write to the log file for the outbound node. Logging options include: NONE turns logging off. NONE is the default value. ERROR writes only error message to the log. WARN writes error messages and warning messages to the log. INFO writes error, warning, and informational messages to the log. DEBUG writes all messages to the log including debugging messages. Use this logging level when instructed to turn it on by IBM® Support.
Destination Service Name	Destination Service Name identifies a destination service accessed by the outbound node. This value can be sent to the Sterling External Authentication Server to use when authenticating a user for access to specific services on the Sterling B2B Integrator server. The following special characters are not allowed: ! @ # % ^ * ( ) + ? , < > { } [ ] \| ; " '
User ID	User ID to use to connect to the outbound server, if the policy is defined to require that the user ID and password from the netmap be used. Valid values are 1-255 alphanumeric characters and certain special characters. The following special characters are not allowed: ! @ # % ^ * ( ) + ? , < > { } [ ] \| ; " '
Password	Password to use to connect to the outbound server, if the policy is defined to require that the user ID and password from the netmap be used. Valid values are 1-255 alphanumeric characters and certain special characters. The following special characters are not allowed: , " '
Local User Key Stores	Local User Key Stores identifies the name of the key store where the key to authenticate Secure Proxy to the outbound connection is stored. Select the local user key store from a drop-down list.
Local User Key	Local User Key identifies the local user key to use to authenticate Secure Proxy to the outbound connection. Select the local user key from the drop-down list.
Compression	Compression identifies the compression method to use to compact files before they are transmitted to the outbound node. Compression methods include none or Zlib.
Alternate Destinations - Node	Alternate Destinations Node identifies the node name or IP address and port to use to connect to an alternate SFTP outbound server if a connection to the primary node cannot be made. Up to three alternate destination nodes can be defined for each outbound node. To use different security and advanced definitions for the alternate destination node connection, first configure an outbound node definition for the alternate node in the netmap. Then, open the primary outbound node definition and select the alternate node name in the Alternate Destinations - Node field. To use the security and advanced definition defined in the primary outbound node for an alternate destination node connection, you do not have to define the alternate node in the netmap. Select IP Address/Port and then provide a value in the IP Address and Port fields.
Alternate Destinations - IP Address	Alternate Destinations - IP Address identifies the IP address to use to connect to an alternate destination node, if a connection to the primary node cannot be made. Up to three alternate destination nodes can be defined. Valid values are 1-200 alphanumeric characters and special characters: underscore (_), dash (-), colon (:), and period (.). If you provide an IP address and port as an alternate destination and a connection to the alternate node is attempted, the security and advanced definition from the primary node is used for the connection.
Alternate Destinations - Port	Alternate Destinations Port identifies the port to use to connect to an alternate destination node if a connection to the primary node cannot be made. Up to three alternate destination nodes can be defined. Valid values are 1-65535. If you provide an IP address and port as an alternate destination and a connection to the alternate node is attempted, the security and advanced definition from the primary outbound node is used for the connection.
