Title: remote access to esmith manager
Post by: vel markus on December 02, 2001, 09:13:59 AM

Hi

Can anyone tell me the way I could access my e-smith-manager from a remote location. Seems I saw at one point a topic here about using ssh to connect thru a prog like putty. Then use a browser while keeping the terminal connection open.

Tried to find the topic again but no luck. I'm running sme 5...server/gateway.

Help!

Thanks to everyone for posting questions here. I have learned a lot.

You can try http://www.myezserver.com/docs/mitel/mindterm-howto.html
Shows for v4.1.1, dont know if it works on sme 5.
I use http://www.myezserver.com/docs/mitel/webconsole-howto.html
to access a remote sme 5 server. Works fine for me.

I personally use SSH Secure Shell and love it.  It is available at www.ssh.com.  It is a commercial program and costs money.  It seems Mindterm is another popular (free) recommendation according to the HOWTO information but I've never used it.  Regardless http://myezserver.com/docs/mitel/mindterm-howto.html has information about access with Mindterm.

With V5.0 you can also use SSL to connect to server-manager remotely.

I do this on my local linux box

   ssh remote.hostname -L 10030:remote.hostname:980

and log in to the remote server. Then I access the server-manager through a local browser with the URL

   http://localhost:10030

The number 10030 is arbitrary. Almost anything over 1000 will work.

You can do this with a MSWindows client as well. There should be an option for tunnelling.
