Connection Parameters:

  • Host name / IP Address Certificate Content (text box editor type) (type: string): enter the DNS name or IP Address content of the SSH host.
  • Password (password editor type) (type: string): the password for the provided username.
  • Password Binding authentication certificate (OpenSSH / SSH Type) or bind this to a global variable of type binary containing the certificate content. This parameter takes precedence over the password parameter for the input username. 
  • Certificate Path (text box editor type)   (type: string):  bind to a variable containing the encrypted password for the SSH host. (This parameter is used only when the user wants to send an encrypted password from outside the workflow, for example Flowster Portal).SSH Port enter the path of the authentication certificate (OpenSSH /  SSH Type). This parameter takes precedence over the Certificate Content parameter.
