Private/Public Key Authentication (SFTP) to Data Sources

Hello,

I've read many posts and guides about usage of SSH Key authentication in ServiceNow when importing data from 'Data Sources' such as:

http://wiki.servicenow.com/index.php?title=Data_Sources#gsc.tab=0

Data source fields

It is still not clear to me the following:

  1. Is it that Private/Public Key authentication (passwordless) is not feasible as File Retrieval Method: SCP ? Why 'Private Key' is then available when you select SCP method? Is it leftover from previous release where that was working?
  2. If it is feasible what should be the format of the private SSH key? Is it PEM format?

Thanks in advance!

HI there, did you manage to find the answer to this? We are struggling to authenticate against an SFTP server using a public key generated for the user we will be authenticating with?
