Problem: I’m trying to create a SFTP connection in Control hub but when I select “Private Key” as my authentication method I don’t see the field where I can provide it.
This is what you see, there is no private key fields to fill
Solution: The functionality to add a private key to a SFTP connection was added with SDC version 5.1. Because the connection set up relies on the engine to get all its information if you use a SDC with a version lower than 5.1 as the Authoring Data Collector for the connection you won’t be able to use this functionality.
If that is your case you have two options:
- Not use Connection for SFTP, and edit logon details directly in an SFTP stage in the pipeline, where you can provide the private key information.
- Upgrade your SDCs to 5.1 version or superior to be able to use this feature.
This is what you will see with a SDC +5.1 version as the authoring data collector
