  Configure Log Target password field requires a value even though
  authentication can be by key and the password is not used.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• The user was observing a connection error while configuring an
  SFTP log target that used SSH public key authentication. This
  behavior was caused by the fact that a password, valid or
  invalid, must also be provided even though it is not required,
  nor used during authentication to the SFTP server. This issue
  was caused by an error in the connection protocol configuration.
  
  Fix will be available in the next major release.
