Configure the Aspera®Faspex™ Web server.
Go to to view and/or modify your settings for the Aspera Faspex Web server. On this page, the Aspera Faspex Web server's IP address or name and HTTP/HTTPS ports are displayed. These settings were initially configured when you first installed Aspera Faspex and completed the asctl setup process. Note that the Web server does not have to be the same system that manages your transfers (i.e. the transfer server). Please refer to the examples below for common Aspera Faspex Web server configurations.
Example #1 - Aspera Faspex Web server has one address for both internal and external users
In the simplest case, the Aspera Faspex Web server is on the same machine as your Aspera transfer server (i.e. Aspera Enterprise Server™ or Aspera Connect Server™) and all internal and external users use the same IP address or hostname to connect to Aspera Faspex.
| Aspera Faspex Web Server Setting | Example #1 Value |
|---|---|
| External IP address or name | faspex.yourcompany.com |
| HTTP Port / HTTPS Port | 80 / 443 |
| Enable alternate address | Disabled |
Example #2 - Aspera Faspex Web server has an alternate address for internal users
In this case, the Aspera Faspex Web server is still on the same machine as your Aspera transfer server (i.e. Aspera Enterprise Server or Aspera Connect Server); however, internal and external users connect to Aspera Faspex via different URLs due to a company security requirement. Additionally, you would like Aspera Faspex package notifications to include a link to the alternate address (which will only resolve for internal users).
| Aspera Faspex Web Server Setting | Example #2 Value |
|---|---|
| External IP address or name | faspex1.yourcompany.com |
| HTTP Port / HTTPS Port | 80 / 443 |
| Enable alternate address | Enabled |
| Alternate address or name | faspex2.yourcompany.com |
| Emails include alternate address | Enabled |
| Configuration Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Server's external address or name | Displays the Aspera Faspex Web UI server's primary IP address or domain
name. To change it, refer to asctl Command Reference and use following command:
asctl apache:hostname <host>
Note
that <host> should be replaced with the new hostname or
IP address. |
| HTTP port | Displays the Aspera Faspex Web UI server's HTTP port number. To change it,
refer to
asctl Command Reference and use the
following command:
asctl apache:http_port <port>
Note
that <port> should be replaced with the new HTTP port
number. |
| HTTPS port | Displays the Aspera Faspex Web UI server's secure HTTP (HTTPS) port number.
To change it, refer to
asctl Command Reference and use the following command:
asctl apache:https_port <port>
Note that <port> should be replaced with the new HTTPS
port number. |
| Enable alternate address checkbox and text field | Enable this checkbox if you have a group of users (for example, those who are external to your organization) that need to access a different IP address or domain name for logging into Aspera Faspex (which you will specify in the text field). |
| Emails include alternate address checkbox | When this checkbox is selected, package notifications sent to recipients will include the alternate address, in addition to the primary address. |
If you change any of the alternate address configuration options, you must click the Update button to apply and save your changes.
