11	11	In the last microlearning, we discussed how to connect to an SFTP from eMagiz. In this microlearning, we want to expand our knowledge and look at a more complex security configuration when connecting to SFTP instances. The configuration we are talking about is the private key configuration.

47	47	As the private key is yours, you can ask a trusted party to generate the key, or you could create it yourself. The latter part happens a lot when connecting to an SFTP. You could use a tool like PuttyGen to achieve this. As a result, you will have a keypair. The private key should be kept safely with you in eMagiz, and you need to share the public key with the SFTP server party. In this microlearning, I will not explain how PuttyGen works in detail. Instead, we will focus on the part in eMagiz. In eMagiz, we need to refer to the key file (linked under Resources), and we need to refer to the password we use to save our key file securely.

51	51	Note that the use of a password and a private key are mutually exclusive. So you need to either provide a password or a private key for authentication. In the help text provided by eMagiz, you can see how the reference to the key file should be made.

55	55	Using this setting gives the server the option to verify if the communication request came from eMagiz (or at least from the party that holds the private key of eMagiz). This is an additional security measure to ensure data integrity and quality.
