Authenticate an Inbound Node Using Key Information

Edit online

About this task

This scenario builds on the Basic SFTP Configuration by adding inbound user authentication using a key. This authentication method requires that credentials for the Sterling B2B Integrator server be defined in the netmap since only the password can be passed through to the Sterling B2B Integrator server. You must add the key information to the user definition before you can test this scenario. Refer to Add SSH Keys to a User Account for instructions.
