Title: REMOTE ACCESS SERVER MGR
Post by: David LeNorman on October 25, 2002, 11:14:17 AM

I tried the setting 0.0.0.0 / 0.0.0.0 under "server-manager->remote access-> at the bottom. Saved & Saved & even rebooted. I still cannot access the server-manager. I did use https:// trying to access the server-manager ... I can access the server-manager remotely ONLY by adding the 0.0.0.0 / 0.0.0.0 in server-manager under "local network" ... and regular http. Don't like doing this..

I have a different web server running on Port 80 on the static IP (a Win2K server) and can't change it. So I've set up the router to forward from port 8800 externally to the SME box's port 80. The routers is connected to a DSL box (we have a static IP). Is there a change I need to make to the apache conf file to allow this..? The "web page" shows up saying "under construction" just fine...

Could I have a SSL problem?

Also cannot access the /webmail from outside the network by either http or https any ideas? (public access is enabled)... works fine on the LAN . This is a SME box running in 'server-only' mode as a node on the network, connected to the switch/hub. thanks...

SSL is port 443, and Server Manager uses port 980.

Thanks Bill... I finally got this to work for secure connections by:

https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:443/server-manager
https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:443/webmail

and assigning all SSL traffic via the router to the SME server.

I think I will install IMP on the Win2K server and direct it to the SME server.  This way I do not have to worry about SSL connections for users in public locations that will not allow specifying the port number.
