OK, things were working fine and now they are not. From the Internet, I can only access Server-Manager via straight HTTP, SSL connections give me Accessed Denied! I get a "HTTP 403 - You are not authorized to view this page" and am never prompted for my login info. Last three things I did
1) Upgraded to IMP 3.0
2) Installed Sherpath via RPM's for SME
3) Updated IMP to 3.1
Orignal Symptoms:
a) Access to server-manager from home via SSL - this worked before
b) Failed PPTP authentication - this worked before as well
Attempted fixes
1) Rebooted - Hey, I have a Windows background
2) Followed steps in
http://www.e-smith.org/docs/howto/remote-mgr-access-howto.html to add in the correct range/subnet for access thinking maybe this got stomped. I've got DSL access. The outside interface of my SME box has an address of 192.168.254.1, the DSL Router is 192.168.254.254. Internal SME interface is 192.168.1.254. I issued (along with the expand-template and restart):
/sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop httpd-admin ValidFrom 192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0
I figured this would give me access to the pages internally or from the Internet since everything gets NAT'd. It's supposed to require SSL so I'm not too concerned about the Internet access
3) To make sure I had access for PPTP (which is how I do all my management) I execute the following per
http://www.e-smith.org/faq.php3#8q26:
/sbin/e-smith/db accounts setprop pauln PPTPAccess on
I won't be able to test this until I get home tonight
Need:
At this point, after thinking it through, I just want server-manager access from within the local network (still SSL) and for PPTP to work. I also need to find out why I am able to login to server-manager via straight HTTP and not SSL!!!!
Thanks in advance,
Kevin
