Title: Remote Server manager
Post by: Ian on July 11, 2002, 07:24:59 PM

Is there a way for me to be able to access the web based server manger remotely and if so can you tell me "exactly" how to set it up.

Thanks

I forgot to mention I am using 5.5 if that matters

On the Remote Access panel, I believe there is an option near the bottom that says something about specifying IP Ranges that you would like to allow remote access to the server-manager.

Just enter your IP information in the boxes.  Then when you connect to the server-manager  you have to connect using https.

Example: https://my.server.ip/server-manager

If you don't necessarily know the IP ranges where you will be, check out this link for using PuTTY to tunnel into your server.

You can also use the built-in PPTP VPN. This will create a secure tunnel to the SME, and give your remote PC a LAN IP behind the SME. You will have the same access you would if the PC were physically on the SME's LAN.

Just enable at least one VPN connection in Server Manager, and set up a PPTP connection from the remote PC. In Windows, just make sure you have DUN 1.4 and VPN is installed, and add a new DUN entry for it, specifying your SME's external IP or domain name.
