AsperaServer To use this computer solely for the HST Server web
UI (and not for file transfers), enter the IP address
or host name of the transfer server machine in this
field. In the case of a high-availability or clustered
setup, this value should be the IP address or host
name of the VIP (from where the VIP/cluster service/
load balancer will manage the transfer servers). Once
added, HST Server allows the user to transfer to and
from the file system on the indicated transfer server
machine.

MinimumConnectVersionSet the minimum version of IBM Aspera Connect
that must be installed in order for users to be able
to use HST Server. If the minimum version is not
installed, a message is displayed that indicates the
minimum version required and provides a download
link. This option takes the value in the format of the
Connect version, for example, 3.0.0.12345.
Note: The default value for this setting is also the
lowest allowable value. If the value specified is
below the default value, the web UI enforces the
default value.

EnableSortByName When set to true, files are sorted into a given order

may be impacted by the sorting process.
