3. Enter credentials

   Enter the following credential details in the onboarding form:

   Field	Description
   Nickname	Name to display in SailPoint Entro for this integration
   Host	DNS or public IP of the remote server. Multiple hosts can be configured.
   Username	SFTP user with read access.
   Password OR Private Key	Either password or Private Key used for authentication.
   Passphrase (optional)	Optional when using Private Key.

4. Select Target files to be scanned (optional)

   • Target Directories (Optional): List absolute paths separated by commas.

   Note

   By default, following directories will be scanned: /home, /etc, /tmp, /mnt with all available file types
