Configure the Server from the Command Line
The following references describe the server settings that can be configured for HST Server by using the command
line or directly editing the HST Server configuration file,
aspera.conf
.
aspera.conf - Authorization Configuration
The settings in the
<authorization>
section of
aspera.conf
include transfer permissions and token
configuration. Tokens are used by Aspera web applications to authorize transfers between Aspera clients and servers.
Note:
For security, Aspera recommends denying incoming and outgoing transfers globally, then allowing transfers by
individual users, as needed. For a compilation of server security best practices, see
Aspera Ecosystem Security Best
on page 335.
