Mapping credentials for a file server

Map user credentials in Managed File Transfer to user credentials on the file server by using the default credential mapping function of the protocol bridge agent or by writing your own user exit. Managed File Transfer provides a sample user exit that performs user credential mapping.

• Mapping credentials for a file server by using the ProtocolBridgeCredentials.xml file
  Map user credentials in Managed File Transfer to user credentials on the file server by using the default credential mapping function of the protocol bridge agent. Managed File Transfer provides an XML file that we can edit to include your credential information.
• Mapping credentials for a file server by using exit classes
  If we do not want to use the default credential mapping function of the protocol bridge agent, we can map user credentials in Managed File Transfer to user credentials on the file server by writing your own user exit. If you configure credential mapping user exits, they take the place of the default credential mapping function.
