HTTPS Configuration

HTTPS Configuration

The HTTPS/AS2 Server Configuration page provides a logical arrangement of the Preferences and Listeners for the HTTPS/AS2 Service.

Preferences

The following sections describe the Preferences settings.
General Properties
The following General properties can be set:
Automatically Start Service
Specify whether you would like to start the HTTPS/AS2 service automatically when
Managed File Transfer
starts.
Session Timeout
The length of idle time in seconds before the HTTPS/AS2 session will close. The default is 300 seconds.
File Transfer Portal
The following File Transfer Portal properties can be set.
General Tab
The General Tab contains the following parameters:
Enabled
The
Managed File Transfer
File Transfer Portal can be enabled or disabled. By default the service is enabled. Changing this setting requires a restart of
Managed File Transfer
. You must have the appropriate license to use the File Transfer Portal.
Allow Browsers to Save Login Credentials
By default,
Managed File Transfer
will not allow a browser to save login credentials. If enabled, the first time a Web User logs in to the HTTPS File Transfer Portal, their browser will ask them if they want to save their password.
Allow Session ID in URL
To prevent internet session hijacking vulnerabilities,
Managed File Transfer
will not allow a Web User's session ID to appear in the URL by default. When this option is enabled, the session ID will appear in the URL while a Web User is using the service (less secure).
Web User's who have their internet browser cookies disabled will not be able to use the service when Allow Session ID in URL is also disabled.
Allow Embedding within an IFrame
To prevent internet clickjacking vulnerabilities,
Managed File Transfer
will not allow the File Transfer Portal to run within an IFrame by default. When this option is enabled, the File Transfer Portal will be allowed to run in an IFrame, which can include potentially untrusted sources (less secure).
Site URL
The Site URL indicates the address of the File Transfer Portal and is used in emails that are sent from
Managed File Transfer
. This URL should be accessible from both internal and external network locations.
Secure Folders Tab
Secure Folders allows Web Users to work with authorized folders and files on the Network through the HTTPS File Transfer Portal.
User Interface Tab
The User Interface Tab contains the following parameters:
Logo
By default, the
Managed File Transfer
logo will be displayed on the login page and header for the Web client. Substitute a corporate logo by selecting the Custom File option and typing a file path and name for a graphic file. Graphic files should be a standard Web format (.jpg, .gif, .png), and sized appropriately (250x75px recommended).
Custom logos must be copied to the <installdirectory>/ghttpsroot/custom folder, where <installdirectory> is the installation directory of
Managed File Transfer
.
Enable Forgot Password Link
The File Transfer Portal login page displays a Forgot Password link when this option is enabled. If selected by the Web User, the Forgot Password process sends an email to the registered Web User with a link to change their password.
Display Help Link
A User Guide is provided with the File Transfer Portal. A Help link, available at the top of the page, can be turned on or off for the File Transfer Portal.
Help File/URL
The location of the help documentation to display in the File Transfer Portal. The following options can be specified:
Default
The help file included with
Managed File Transfer
is the default help content.
File
If the Help link will open a document (for example, a PDF, text file, or HTML document), that file must be copied to the <installdirectory>/ghttpsroot/custom folder, where <installdirectory> is the installation directory of
Managed File Transfer
. Only the file name is placed in the text field (for example, webclienthelp.pdf).
URL
If the Help link will open a Web page, place the full URL in the text field (for example, http://www.example.com/filetransferportalhelp.htm).

uses the Web User's internet browser language settings to choose the File Transfer Portal’s default language. If a Web User's internet browser is configured to use multiple languages, and the preferred language is not available or enabled,
Managed File Transfer
will use the next available language in the order of preference from the Web User's browser. English will be used as the default language if no other language can be found.
Each language can be enabled by expanding the
Enlarge
icon and then select the Enabled option.
