SFTP Configuration and SSH Key Generation and Exchange ​

An SSH keypair is required to connect to the beqom SFTP server and interact with the DataBridge Engine Pipeline.

Generating an SSH key ​

The SSH keypair is generated by the user and then the public key is shared with the beqom support team. The user places the private key in a safe location. An SSH keypair is generated with the following command:

bash
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "<my_email@example.com>" -f ~/.ssh/beqom_databridge_sftp

This creates:

  • Private key: ~/.ssh/beqom_databridge_sftp
  • Public key: ~/.ssh/beqom_databridge_sftp.pub

This will leave the keypair in your $HOME/.ssh folder. The file with the .pub extension is the public key.

Share your public key ​

Send the contents of beqom_databridge_sftp.pub to the beqom support team so they can attach it to your SFTP-enabled Blob Storage account and grant access to your container.

Connect to the SFTP server ​

The beqom support team will, upon receiving your SSH public key, provide you with the following:

  • Tenant name: Typically your company name. May include hyphens, e.g. acme-corp
  • Username: As a contrast to the tenant name. May not include hyphens, e.g. acmecorp

Based on the above, you can log into the SFTP server with the following credentials:

  • SFTP Username: bqmweudbrsprd1sftp.<tenant-name>.<user-name>
    • Example SFTP Username: bqmweudbrsprd1sftp.acme-corp.acmecorp
  • SFTP Server: databridge-weu.beqom.io

Consequently, a user with Acme Corp would log into the SFTP server with the following command:

bash
sftp -i ~/.ssh/beqom_databridge_sftp bqmweudbrsprd1sftp.acme-corp.acmecorp@databridge-weu.beqom.io
