FTP and DataPower: best practice for username:password

Troubleshooting


Problem

How do you set your FTP username and password in IBM WebSphere DataPower? If you embed them in the URL you use to attach to DataPower, they may be visible on the wire. Also, DataPower may attempt to parse them.

Symptom

If the FTP-embedded username or password contains reserved characters, the FTP logon may not succeed.
