Title: public webmail access (port fwding)
Post by: BJ on October 23, 2001, 03:00:39 AM
Hi,

I don't quite know where to start with this one. My ISP has given me warning that I must stop listening on 443 on the public internet side because this breaches the AUP.

I have tried changing the port which HTTPS listens, but just managed to get webmail so that you could use http instead even though this was not allowed according to the admin frontend.

I then thought about seting the server up as a private server and using port forwarding to forward from port 4433 outside interface to 443 inside interface. This also appears not to work, I suspect because being in local server mode the rules are set somewhere to not allow any TCP syns coming in.

The only service I want to be able to get to is webmail so I thought this should work. Am I on the right track ?  Anyone care to comment or share any solutions ?

TIA

BJ

edit the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file ( thru the templates-user structure - see faq )
you should be able to change
Listen public.ip.here:443

to

Listen public.ip.here:4433 or what ever port takes you fancy.

Then to access it
