HL7 SFTP problem

Post by malay » Mon Feb 22, 2021 9:19 pm

Hello. I am exploring HL7 using SFTP transport. I get the following in my event log.

"Could not connect to the SFTP server using the values in the enabled HL7 definition. Another connection attempt will occur in 1 minute. Algorithm negotiation fail"

I have made sure an external SFTP client (Filezilla) is able to connect. It prompts for a accepting a SHA key once and then it connects.

Any help on this is appreciated.

Thank you.

I spoke with one of our HL7 Coordinators and they said that we don't currently support SFTP for generic HL7 messages, only for the MedLab/LabCorp type HL7 interface. As mentioned in a reply on your other post, viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7463, it might be helpful for you to send a brief overview of what you're trying to accomplish to Implementations@OpenDental.com including what information you're hoping to transfer out of Open Dental and what information you're hoping to transfer into Open Dental. We may be able to offer some general advice.
