Update on Tomcat on SSL

At work, I set up Tomcat 6.0.16 to use SSL using the instructions from http://techtracer.com/2007/09/12/setting-up-ssl-on-tomcat-in-3-easy-steps/ . However, I had to modify some of the steps to make it work on mys system: When generating the Keystore file, make sure you tell keytool that you wnat RSA: keytool -genkey -alias techtracer -keypass yourpassword -keystore techtracer.bin -storepass yourpassword -keyalg RSA Also, in tomcat's sever.xml, use the code snippet from the official documentation (http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/ssl-howto.html) instead of his snippet, e.g.: < connector port="8443" minsparethreads="5" maxsparethreads="75" enablelookups="true" disableuploadtimeout="true" acceptcount="100" maxthreads="200" scheme="https" secure="true" sslenabled="true" keystorefile="/home/yourself/apache/webapps/techtracer.bin" keystorepass="yourpassword" clientauth="false" sslprotocol="TLS" > The jruby on rails applications deployed on Apache also now run on a secure SSL connection.

Power Automate: SFTP action "Test connection failed"

When I added an SFTP create file action to my Power Automate flow ( https://flow.microsoft.com ) , I got the following error in the action step, within the designer: "Test connection failed" To troubleshoot the Power Automate connection, I had to: go the Power Automate portal then "Data"->"Connections"  the sftp connection was there, I clicked on the ellipsis, and entered the connection info It turns out, that screen provides more details about the connection error. In my case, it was complaining that "SSH host key finger-print xxx format is not supported. It must be in 'MD5' format". I had provided the sha fingerprint that WinScp shows. Instead, I needed to use the MD5 version of the fingerprint. To get that, I had to run in command line (I was in a folder that had openssh in it): ssh -o FingerprintHash=md5 mysftpsite.com To get the fingerprint in MD5 format. I took the string (without the "MD5:" part of the string) and put
