    Question

    How to set SFTP key authentication in Alma?

    Answer

     

    • In order to configure and generate a key in Alma you need the following information: 
    • - S/FTP server IP
    • - PORT

    The section "Adding S/FTP Connections" of the document "Alma > Product Documentation > Alma Online Help (English) > Administration > External Systems" 

    http://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Product_Documentation/Alma_Online_Help_(English)/Administration/050Configuring_General_Alma_Functions/050External_Systems#Adding_S.2FFTP_Connections

    States that the SSH public key is created automatically and displayed on the Alma S/FTP Connections page (in the new UI: Alma Configuration > General > External Systems: S/FTP Definitions), when one creates a new S/FTP Connection and checks the box "FTP Server Secured". 

     

    • Institution will need to:
    • 1. Activate the authentication key on their s/ftp server
    • 2. Open firewall for a range of ExL IPs
    • - Allowed S/FTP Connections
    • - S/FTP Definitions

     

    See range of IPs under:
