Reuse Code

  1. Configure the Node API. 
    # /opt/aspera/bin/asnodeadmin -l
  2. Set a docroot for the user.
    The docroot is a security feature that allows you to restrict the area of the file system that a user, and services run by that user such as the Aspera Watch Service, can access. If a user needs access to the entire file system, set the docroot path as /, but you cannot leave it empty.

    Set the user's docroot by running the following command:

    # asconfigurator -x "set_user_data;user_name,username;absolute,docroot"

    For example:

    # asconfigurator -x "set_user_data;user_name,root;absolute,/"
success
user_name: root
  3. Validate aspera.conf.
    Validate the aspera.conf file using the asuserdata utility:
    # /opt/aspera/bin/asuserdata -v

    The aspera.conf configuration file is in the following location:

    /opt/aspera/etc/aspera.conf

  4. Logging locations.
    /var/log/messages
