Logging In

If your IBM Aspera Shares license includes access to Console or Shares, log into Shares through the web browser. If your license does not include access to Console or Shares, you must SSH into the instance. For more information on using SSH to access Shares, see Using SSH to Login to APOD.

Note: You must install Adobe Flash Player on your computer before using Console or Shares. You can download Flash Player from the following link: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer.

Enter the On Demand server URL in your web browser https://instance_IP_address/aspera/console. For example, https://aspera.example.com/aspera/console.

Tip: If your On Demand product includes access to Shares, entering the IP address without aspera/console brings you to the Shares login page. For example, https://aspera.example.com.

Your browser may notify you of an untrusted connection. If this occurs, follow the on-screen instructions to accept the security certificate.
On the login screen, enter your user name and password.
If this is your first time logging in, Console prompts you to enter a valid customer ID and entitlement key. For more information on entitlement keys, see Updating the Entitlement Key.
