Protocol Server Information
When creating a Remote Connection there are multiple different protocols you can choose, and subsequently different server information is required.
This document will take you through the required settings for all available Protocols:
HTTP(S)
The form for HTTP and HTTPS protocols are the same, and require the same information.
Host
Provide the host name, for example:
examplehost.adestra.com
Port
Provide your Port number for the HTTP(S) connection.
If left blank the system will use the default port numbers.
Note: The defaults are 80 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS.
Realm
When using HTTP or HTTPS you are able to add a realm, this is also for authentication purposes and defines the area in which user credentials have access.
FTP
To create an FTP connection, refer to the Remote Connection topic.
Host
Provide the host name, for example:
examplehost.adestra.com
Port
Provide your Port number for the (S)FTP connection.
If left blank the system will use the default port number.
Note: The default port number is 21.
SFTP
The SFTP server settings are the same as an FTP, with the addition of generating ssh keys. This helps to protect your connection by authenticating Adestra when we connect to the SFTP server.
Host
Provide the host name, for example:
examplehost.adestra.com
Port
Provide your Port number for the SFTP connection.
If left blank the system will use the default port number.
Note: The default port number is 22.
Generate SSH Keys
By clicking the 'Generate SSH Keys' button, a Public Key will be created, which you can then copy to your server before submitting the form.
Salesforce
When creating a Salesforce remote connection the 'Server Information' section will disappear from the form.
In its place you will have the option to choose 'Use Sandbox', used for testing purposes.
