SSH Auth Account

You can use this account type to connect Binary Snaps with data sources that use SSH Auth accounts.
Note: The SSH Auth Account supports all popular Public-key cryptography algorithms.
  • RSA ssh-rsa, header -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- … -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

  • DSA ssh-dsa , header -----BEGIN DSA PRIVATE KEY----- … -----END DSA PRIVATE KEY-----

  • ECDSA ecdsa-*, header: -----BEGIN EC PRIVATE KEY----- … -----END EC PRIVATE KEY-----

  • EdDSA ssh-ed25519 and ssh-ed448, header: -----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY----- … -----END OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----

We recommend that you use EdDSA for modern systems where both the client and server support it, since it offers better security. RSA with larger key sizes like 2048 and 4096 offers good security while being compatible with older systems.

Account Settings



Legend:
  • Expression icon (): Allows using JavaScript syntax to access SnapLogic Expressions to set field values dynamically (if enabled). If disabled, you can provide a static value. Learn more.
  • SnapGPT (): Generates SnapLogic Expressions based on natural language using SnapGPT. Learn more.
  • Suggestion icon (): Populates a list of values dynamically based on your Snap configuration. You can select only one attribute at a time using the icon. Type into the field if it supports a comma-separated list of values.
  • Upload : Uploads files. Learn more.
Learn more about the icons in the Snap settings dialog.
Field / Field set Type Description
Label String

Required. Specify a unique label for the account.

Default value: N/A

Example: SSH Account
Username String/Expression Required. Specify the Account username or use the Expression enabler to select the appropriate value.

Default value: N/A

Example: Snap Admin
Private Key String/Expression Required. 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.
Warning: 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 Private key must be enclosed within the BEGIN RSA PRIVATE Key and END RSA PRIVATE KEY, as shown below:----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----MIIEoQIBAAKCAQEAnTFVYHy6A3YeJbrJ7MY/uiRZViiTLBf8AGo5WDCWLkmkwP2hl/jFBAwZLR4k6Tz6wOLuo1w+y6+DyCgNrgiJdpnJXlbGfX8J/wUdDliNOTS0+LukWYTcTroTA==-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

Default value: N/A

Key passphrase String/Expression Specify the passphrase to decrypt the private key.

Default value: N/A

Example: dfdkJ*KM0245,-K24=

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]
