Overview

Account Settings

You can create an account from Designer or Manager. In Designer, when working on pipelines, every Snap that needs an account prompts you to create a new account or use an existing account. The accounts can be created in or used from:

  • Your private project folder: This folder contains the pipelines that will use the account.
  • Your Project Space’s shared folder: This folder is accessible to all the users that belong to the Project Space.
  • The global shared folder: This folder is accessible to all the users within an organization in the SnapLogic instance.

Account Configuration

In Manager, you can navigate to the required folder and create an account in it (see Accounts). To create an account for binary files:

  1. Click Create > Binary > SSH Auth.
  2. Enter an account label and other required information.
  3. (Optional) Enter additional information on this account in the Notes field of the Info tab.
  4. Click Apply.

use this account type to connect Binary Snaps with data sources that use SSH Auth accounts.

Note

The Binary SSH Auth account supports the following SFTP key exchange algorithms:

  • diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1
  • diffie-hellman-group1-sha1
  • diffie-hellman-group14-sha1
  • diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256
  • ecdh-sha2-nistp256
  • ecdh-sha2-nistp384
  • ecdh-sha2-nistp521

As far as SFTP server supports any of these algorithms, the . The JSch (SSH Java client) library and SFTP file server will be able to identify and work with identifies and processes the appropriate algorithm during login.

For Windows:

The PuTTYgen application is required for this to work. It can be downloaded by following this link. 

Steps for generating SSH keys using PuTTY Key Generator.

  • Start the PuTTY Key Generator application 

  • In the Parameters section
    • Select SSH-2 RSA in Type of key to generate.
    • Enter the information in Number of bits in a generated key.
  • In the Actions section click on Generate.
  • PuTTY Key Generator uses randomness in mouse movements to generate a unique secure key. Move the mouse around till the progress bar fills up completely.
  • The public and private key will now be generated.

  • Fill the Key comment and Key passphrase as needed.
  • Save the private and public key files to a secure and private location by clicking on the Save public key and Save private key buttons.
  • Send the Public Key to the SFTP host.
  • Store the keys and passphrase into the password/key vault.


Note

PuTTY Key Generator uses the PPK format for keys. If a standard OpenSSH key format is required for the SFTP client, click on Conversions menu and then on Export OpenSSH Key.
