Configuring the Web Administration Capability

The Monitor server can enable a Web Administration function that lets you view the status of monitored services, modify IMail Server user registration data, and view log data.

To configure Web Administration through the Monitor server:

  1. Click the Monitor Web Server tab. The Web Access properties appear.
  2. Turn on Enable Web Administration through Monitor.
  3. Enter the Port number for Web Administration. The default is 8181.
  4. Enter the Title that you want to appear on the web page when accessed from a web browser.
  5. In the Web Dir box, enter the directory where you can place additional files to be served by the Web Administration function.
  6. When Hide User List Button is selected, the Web Administration capability will not display a list of users in the host administrator functions.
  7. Click the Control Access button to specify an IP address or set of IP addresses that are either granted access to the web server or denied access. Systems that do not have access to the web server system will not be allowed to create a connection.
  8. Click Apply to apply the settings. The Monitor server must be stopped and restarted for changes to take affect.

Setting Access to Web Administration

You can specify an IP address or set of IP addresses that are either granted or denied access. Systems that do not have access to the Monitor server will not be allowed to create a connection.

To deny access to a specific computer or group of computers:

  1. Click Control Access. The Access Control properties appear.
  2. Select Granted Access.
  3. Click Add. The "Deny Access On" dialog box appears.
  4. In the IP Address box, enter the IP address of the computer to be denied access to Web Administration.

    To deny access to a group of computers, select Group of Computers. In the IP Address and Subnet Mask boxes, enter the IP address and subnet mask for the group to be denied access. For example, if you have a class C address space of 156.21.50.0, enter a group address of 156.21.50.0 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. This will deny access to those 254 systems.

  5. Click OK to add the IP address(es) to the list. Access will be granted to all computers except those listed.
  6. Click OK to save the changes. Note that you must stop and restart the monitor service for the changes to take affect.

To grant access to a specific computer or group of computers:

  1. Click Control access. The "Access Control" dialog box appear.
  2. Turn on Denied Access.
  3. Click Add. The "Grant Access On" dialog box appears.
  4. In the IP Address box, enter the IP address of the computer to be granted access to the Web Administration through the Monitor server.

    To grant access to a group of computers, select Group of Computers. In the IP Address and Subnet Mask boxes, enter the IP address and subnet mask for the group to be granted access. For example, if you have a class C address space of 156.21.50.0, enter a group address of 156.21.50.0 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. This will grant access to those 254 systems.

  5. Click OK to add the IP address(es) to the list. Access will be denied to all computers except those listed.
  6. Click Apply to save the changes. Note that you must stop and restart the monitor service for the changes to take effect.
