Hi

I whould like to access the server-manager and user-manager from a remote machine from the Internet, but I can only do it if i'm coming from the same ip range as the server.

Any suggestions.
Thanks

step 1: Set ValidFrom address(es)

/sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop httpd-admin ValidFrom IP/Subnet[,IP/Subnet]

step 2: Expand the template

/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

step 3: Restart Apache

/etc/e-smith/events/actions/restart-httpd-graceful

step 4: access site

https://www.mydomain.xxx/server-manager

cheers,
stitch

I would just like to verify about syntax for a range of ip addresses. Let's say I want to make the server manager available to an entire class B address range. would this be the correct info to put in for the db command above;

/sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop httpd-admin ValidFrom 200.200.0.0/255.255.255.0

or would this be more appropriate;

/sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop httpd-admin ValidFrom 200.200/255.255.255.0

??????????

Did you work out the proper syntax for the subnet?

I am attempting to set up the same thing.

Yours,
