Overview

You can 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

SFTP server supports any of these algorithms. The JSch (SSH Java client) library and SFTP file server identifies and processes the appropriate algorithm during login.

    String/Expression

    Specify the Account username or use the Expression enabler to select the appropriate value.

    Private key*


    Default Value: N/A
    Example    : ----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
    MIIEoQIBAAKCAQEAnTFVYHy6A3YeJbrJ7MY/uiRZ
    ViiTLBf8AGo5WDCWLkmkwP2h
    l/jFBAwZLR4k6Tz6wOLuo1w+y6+DyCgNrgiJdpnJ
    XlbGfX8J/wUdDliNOTS0+LukWYTcTroTA==
    -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

    String/Expression

    Specify the private key for SSH authentication. Ensure that the private key is with header and footer. This is a multi-line field that allows you to copy paste the private key along with its header and footer.

    Note

    For an SSH account, you must generate a public/private key for snapuser on the Groundplex, add the private key and username to the SSH account settings in SnapLogic, add public key to the sftp machine for that user. The header and footer must be in the private key:
    -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY----- 


    Key passphrase


    Default Value: N/A
    Example    :     dfdkJ*KM0245,-K24=

    String/Expression

    Specify the passphrase to decrypt the private key.


    Account Encryption

    Standard Encryption

    If you use Standard Encryption, the High sensitivity settings under Enhanced Encryption are used.

    Enhanced Encryption

    If the account you are using has the Enhanced Encryption feature, the account fields are encrypted for each sensitivity level as shown below:

    • High: [None]
    • Medium + High: [None]
    • Low + Medium + High: [None]

    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.
