    Azure Blob SFTP Public Key Authentication Failed

    Q: I am having some issues with getting SFTP private SSH keys to work. The same SFTP account works fine if I configure a password

    So far I have:
    Generated private key in Azure
    Used puttyGen on local system to generate keys and uploaded to Azure
    Tried both API vendor modes
    Tried different SFTP versions
    Enabled Stay Connected
    Switched to Keyboard-Interactive Last SSH auth order
    Enabled Control log

    It might be due to us using Azure Blob SFTP https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/secure-file-transfer-protocol-support

    A: It can mean that our File Mover tried to use rsa-sha2-256 for the authentication, because the server indicated it supports rsa-sha2-256, but does not actually support it for the SFTP Public Key authentication.

    In version v2023.3.15.0 we added an extra option ‘Force User Authentication to Rsa-Sha1’ to achieve this. Important is to use our second API Vendor – CK.

    Force User Authentication to Rsa-sha1

     

    Update 30th of August 2023, in Limagito version v2023.8.30.0 there was another optimization regarding Azure SFTP server connection issues.

    SSH/SFTP: Fixed uncommon public-key authentication problems where the client and server are not agreeing on the choice of userauth key algorithm if RSA is used and the server supports the rsa-sha2-256 and rsa-sha2-512 host key algorithms.

    Remotely manage multiple servers running Limagito File Mover

    Remotely manage multiple servers running Limagito File Mover more easy.

    The (Web)Remote tool has 2 options to connect to its File Mover engine (which is running as Service OR Application).

    • IPC: Inter Process Communication (using named pipes) which can be used locally on the system where Limagito Engine is running.
    • IMC: Inter Machine Communication (using encrypted TCP/IP) which can be used within your network.

    In version v2023.2.27.0 we added an address list option to the IMC connection method. This way you can create a selection list of your Limagito instances.

    FYI, IMC by default is disabled. You can enable this option using the Limagito Config Tool > IMC Tab > ‘Enable IMC Server’.

    Global logging options in Limagito File Mover

    Q: It looks like the logging options are per job. Would it be possible for there to be a global option for logging. This way someone cannot forget to set it up on a single job, and so we can be sure the logging is consistent across jobs. The individual job logging settings could always override the global settings.

    A: We are working on a global log setting at this moment (logging to a single log file). You’ll still need to enable a checkbox for each Rule you want to use this Global log setup in. The individual Rule Log file will stay (what we call history logging at the moment).

    New Logging Framework in Limagito File Mover starting from version v2023.2.26.0

    We replaced our previous logging framework because it was not ideal for the many requests we received regarding to logging. A long time request was a global file logging option which we added together with the new framework. The output result is not 100% identical as with the previous framework but this is something we cannot avoid, every advantage has its disadvantage.

    • The setup of the ‘Global File Logger’ is available under ‘Global’:

    • If you want a Rule to write to this Global File Log then please enable this in the Rule Logging setup:

    Important, the Log Level and Include&Exclude Filters in the Rule Logging setup below are individual for the selected Rule. The actual Global File Logger also has these Log Level and Include/Exclude Filters options. Both are used to determine if the entry is logged or not. The combination makes it possible to fine tune the entries being send to the Global File Log.

    The individual Rule File Log (previously called History Log) is still available. Even both can be used at the same time, for example with different filters and levels.
