HTTPS MFT Connection Properties

Create an HTTPS MFT Connection to define communications using the HTTPS protocol for an MFT Remote endpoint. Informatica Managed File Transfer can connect to HTTPS servers to securely exchange files over encrypted SSL connections. When you define anHTTPS MFT Connection, indicate the HTTPS connection properties such as the host name or IP address, and optionally the SSL certificates, user, password and proxy information.

The following table describes the properties in the

Basic

tab:

Property	Description
Name	Name of the MFT Connection.
Description	Provide a description for the MFT Connection.
Host	The host name or IP address of the server.

The following table describes the properties in the

Proxy

tab:

Property	Description
Proxy Type	Managed File Transfer supports SOCKS (version 4 and 5), HTTP tunneling through an HTTP proxy and Managed File Transfer Gateway. Check with the network administrator for the correct proxy type.
Host	The host name (or IP address) of the proxy server on your network. This is only needed if your system uses a proxy server to make HTTP connections.
Alternate Host	The host name or IP address of an alternate proxy server. The alternate proxy server is used when the primary proxy server is unavailable.
Port	The port number of the proxy server on your network. This is only needed if your network uses a proxy server to make HTTP connections.
User	The user name (login name) to use for connecting to the proxy server. This is only needed if your network uses a proxy server to make HTTP connections.
Password	The password to use for connecting to the proxy server. This is only needed if your network uses a proxy server to make HTTP connections.

The following table describes the properties in the

Connection

tab:

Property	Description
Port	The port number to use for connecting to the server. If left blank, the default port number is 80.
User	The user name (login name) to use for connecting to the HTTP server. This is only needed if the HTTP server requires that the client be authenticated using either the BASIC or DIGEST authentication schemes.
Password	The password to use for connecting to the HTTP server. This is only needed if the HTTP server requires that the client be authenticated using either the BASIC or DIGEST authentication schemes.
Connection Timeout	The maximum amount of time, in seconds, to wait when trying to establish a connection to the HTTP server. A timeout value of 0 (zero) is interpreted as an infinite wait time. If the field is left blank, then the default value of 60 seconds will be used.
Read Timeout	The maximum amount of time, in seconds, to wait for a (read) response from the HTTP server. A timeout value of 0 (zero) is interpreted as an infinite wait time. If the field is left blank, then the default infinite value of 0 (zero) will be used.
SSL Context Protocol	Specify the protocol to use when creating the SSLContext. The value depends on the security providers you have installed in the Java Runtime Environment. In most cases, the default value SSL is fine. However, on some IBM JRE implementations the default value does not work if the server to which you connect to does not support SSLv3. Select whether the server is considered trusted so that validation will not be attempted using digital certificates. By default, this option is enabled.
The server is considered trusted and validation will not be attempted using digital certificates.	If enabled, Managed File Transfer uses the default certificate that is defined in the Managed File Transfer default key store.
Client Certificate Alias	A particular key within the default key store can be used for client authentication by indicating the key alias. The specified key will be used when required by the HTTPS server.
