This appears to be related to the private/public key - the “Test Connection” works, however when used as a Virtual Folder, it fails. If I switch to Password Auth, the issue goes away.
We’ve found the issue - ActiveTransfer was (for some reason?) only installed on one of the Active/Active Integration servers - and it seems the Event Engine was running on the other server. Stopping the IS Server on the this Server allowed it work. I’m not sure what the prescribed architecture is for AT, but this single server install does seem a bit unusual.
The mystery deepens - we added our second IS server to the MWS ActiveTransfer instances and then we reviewed the Server Log in more detail and found the second server has a InvalidPassphraseException when run as a schedule. If we select this AT instance and do a “Test Connection” it works fine. So this is quite confusing.
