error in SFTP receiver channel in SAP 7.50

[ravi_reddy1]

Hi Team,

My scenario is IDOC to SFTP and authentication is Password authentication.

while sending the data to Target system i am getting the following error.

Transmitting the message to endpoint <local> using connection AFW failed, due to: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: javax.resource.ResourceException: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: received authentication request from server which could not be processed: destination=user@hostname; name=Password authentication; instruction=prompt=users password

Here user = sftp connecting user

hostname = target host (SFTP SERVER)

Please help why i am getting the above error in receiver SFTP channel?

Regards,
Ravi

This error usually occurs if you have to authenticate using a certificate. This gets more and more common as this is more secure than ordinary basic authentication. Sometimes it's combined (Certificate + Basic)

If you can reach the SFTP from your local PC, try if you can connect via Filezilla (or any other SFTP client)
