Topic: 403 Forbidden

[Michael Tibben]

I have just installed E-Smith 4.0 on a server to test it out. I can access the front page fine through my browser at http://myip/ however, when I try to access the web based administration at http://myip/e-smith-manager I get 403 Forbidden. I am on an outside network when I try to connect. Any ideas?

Please ensure that you also apply the 4.0.1 update.

For security reasons, the e-smith-manager is not available on the external
network. Allowing external access without encryption would compromise the
security of the administrator password.

e-smith 4.1, which is in late beta, provides remote access to the manager
via the SSH protocol.
