Title: Help How can I change remote management IP through SSH
Post by: Philippe MARTY on February 18, 2011, 09:27:45 AM

Hello,

I have a little problem accessing my smeserver from internet.
I need to access to the http server manager from outside of my network, but I'm already outside and I just have SSH access.

How, through SSH, can I setup my IP address to be authorized for server manager ?

Any idea ?
Thanks for your help

If your IP address is 10.11.12.13, you can do

Code: [Select]

db configuration setprop httpd-admin ValidFrom \
 "$(db configuration getprop httpd-admin ValidFrom),10.11.12.13/255.255.255.255"
signal-event remoteaccess-update

Alternativly, you can access your server-manager through a SSH tunnel (explained here: http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,46875.msg230703.html#msg230703)

Regards, Daniel
