Topic: access e-smith manager from externel network

[Pat Erler]

i would like to access the e-smith manager from the internet:

a) is it possible to acces it via https
b) how do i extend the "allow from x.x.x.x" and "listen x.x.x.x" statements in /etc/httpd/admin-conf/httpd.conf" the "correct way" ?

regards,

PAT

A few ways you can get to the manager remotely:

1.  ssh to the server as user admin, and use Lynx to access the manager in text mode.

2.  Set up a VPN connection and open www.myserver.com/e-smith-manager.

3.  Use an ssh tunnel as described in the contirbuted howto section
