Configuring Shares

Before configuring Shares to work with Connect, you need the following:
  • A computer running the correct version of Shares and Enterprise Server.
  • On each node on the Shares server, a supported version of Connect Server with a Connect-enabled license.
Note: If you use the synchronization feature, you must ensure that the Enterprise Server is configured to use token authentication.
  1. Log in to your Shares server as administrator, and go to Admin > Accounts > Users.
  2. For each Shares user account that will use Connect, click Edit.
  3. On the Security tab, verify that the API Login checkbox is selected.
    On Shares 1.6 and later versions, this permission is enabled by default whenever new users are created.
  4. Create shares, and authorize users for each share.
    For more instructions about creating shares and authorizing users, see IBM Aspera Shares documentation..
  5. For each authorized user of a share, enable the following permissions to allow users to view, edit, or delete files and folders when using Connect:
    To allow this action on Connect … … Enable this checkbox on Shares
    View browse

    download
    Edit upload

    mkdir

    rename
    Delete delete
  6. For each Shares user account that uses Connect, repeat these steps.
