Enhance SFTP connector to allow for certificate-based authentication.

Envizi currently uses an SFTP server to collect files for their customers and ingest the data into their software.  We use App Connect to extract data from Maximo, Tririga, and Turbonomics and process that data into CSV files for Envizi.  However, the Envizi SFTP server only supports certificate-based authentication, not username/password.  This enhancement would enable a more secure method of authenticating into an SFTP server.

    Revisiting ideas for review, we suspect that this customer situation was actually implemented using a Toolkit message flow, as opposed to using an App Connect Professional Studio (Cast Iron) orchestration or an App Connect Designer flow. The Toolkit FileOutput node provides support for SFTP secured by SSH Identity File + passphrase as mentioned in the prior comment. Please let us know if we have misinterpreted and we can always reopen.

    Idea Review. Thank you for taking the time to raise this enhancement request. It's not clear from the original request wording whether the intention is to use the Designer authoring tool or the Toolkit authoring tool for this requirement. As you may be aware, it's worth noting here that ACE software provides the capability use a Toolkit message flow node to send files via SFTP and authenticate either using "username + password" or an "SSH Identity File + passphrase". In Designer, the authentication method is currently only "username + password". Idea updated to Future Consideration status.
