FTPS
FTPS (not to be confused with SFTP), which is also known widely as FTP Secure or FTP-SSL, is an extension to the normal File Transfer Protocol (FTP), adding the support for the cryptographic protocols Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Socket Layer (SSL).
Regarding implementing this in your Designer service, connecting to an FTPS server can be done the same way as connecting to a normal FTP backend. The difference is, that you additionally need to define the FTPS protocol and the according port, method etc. in your URL adapter alias.
Alias Attributes
Find below a list of relevant alias attributes, if the URL adapter is used with the FTPS protocol. Default values used when an option is not explicitly set are written in bold.
Attribute | Description | Allowed Values / Examples | |
---|---|---|---|
Standard | |||
protocol | Transport protocol. | ftps | |
port | Machine port number the service is binding to. This port number can be given at service level only. | a valid port number (default: 21) | |
path | HTTP path for the SOAP request. | ||
method | HTTP method of the URL adapter call. Default is "POST" if no value is specified. | one of: get (default), post, put, list | |
Advanced | |||
user | Username/password. | ||
options | Native cURL options as listed on Setting cURL Options on the URL Adapter. Use one of the following syntax rules:
| valid cURL options, e.g. | |
Proxy | |||
proxyURL | URL of the proxy server. | ||
proxyUser | Proxy user. | ||
proxyType | Type of the proxy. | one of: | |
SSL | |||
sslCAInfo | Name of the file containing additional certificates for the connection verification (e.g. additional root CAs). | ||
sslCertificateFile | Name of the file that contains the client certificate. | ||
sslPrivateKeyFile | Name of the file that contains the private key. | ||
sslPrivateKeyPassword | Password for the private key. | ||
sslCertificateType | Type of the certificate. | one of: PEM (default), DER | |
sslVerifyHost | Whether to verify the host information form the SSL connection. | On | Verification on. |
Off | Verification off (default). | ||
Existence | Limit verification to the mere existence of the host. | ||
sslVerifyPeer | Whether to verify the peer information from the SSL connection. | On | Verification on (default). |
Off | Verification off. | ||
sslPrivateKeyType | Type of the private key. | one of: PEM (default), DER |
Useful cURL Options
Option | Description |
---|---|
| Via this option, you can tell the URL adapter to explicitly use SSL version 2. This may be necessary, if the server has problems with TLS/SSLv3. |
There are many more cURL options, which might be needed for a service to run. You can find a comprehensive list of all cURL options supported by the xUML Runtime on Setting cURL Options on the URL Adapter.
