Use the Environment tab to configure information that PRPC uses to find and log into an external FTP server.
Server details
- Host Name - Enter a Domain Name Server (DNS) name for the FTP server, for example,
ftp.myserver.com. Alternatively, identify an IP address.
This field supports the Global Resource Settings syntax (=.PageName.PropertyName). The default property name for this field is pyHostName. For more information, see Using the Global Resource Settings feature.
- Port Number - Identify a TCP/IP port for this FTP server, typically port 21. SSH FTP is not supported. This field supports the Global Resource Settings syntax (=.PageName.PropertyName). The default property name for this field is
pyPortNumber.
Authentication
- Use Authentication - Select to enable authentication.
- Authentication Profile - Select the authentication profile to use that contains the user name and password for the account that Pega 7 uses to connect to the FTP server. Click the Add icon to create a new authentication profile. Fore more information, see About Authentication Profile Data instances.
Security
- Enable FTPS - Select to enable FTPS.
- Lowest allowable SSL/TLS version - Select the lowest allowable SSL/TLS version. Pega 7will display a guardrail warning for versions that are considered vulnerable.
- Truststore - Select the Truststore record that contains the server certificates to use for FTP server verification or click the Add icon to create a new one.
- Keystore - Select the Keystore record that contains the client certificates to use for Pega client application verification by the FTP server or click the Add icon to create a new one.
- Encrypt data channel - Enabled by default for encryption of FTP authentication and data channels. Select to encrypt data; authentication over FTP always uses encryption. If you are using mutual SSL or a secure network, you may want to deselect this option as performance can be impacted when using it.
Test Connectivity -
After you have completed this tab and saved the rule, click to confirm that Pega 7 can connect to the server using the information on this tab.
The system presents test results in a separate window, identifying the parameters used in the test, the steps attempted, and the outcome of each step.
