Installing and Configuring the Validator Service

Validator can validate files from multiple HST Server nodes. HST Servers used in Faspex as file storage must be added to Validator's Servers list for Faspex to validate packages and files. Validator requires access to the file storage on each HST Server node used as Faspex file storage where you want validation to take place.

Note: Validator is a standalone product that has separate documentation. For instructions on installing and configuring Validator, see the IBM Aspera Validator Admin Guide.

Important:

To prevent security breaches, disable downloads during transfer. Otherwise, users can download files from a package before the files pass validation.

Go to Server > Transfer Options and clear the Enable downloads during transfers option.
