Configuration of WinRoute’s Web Interface

The name need not be necessarily identical with the host name, however, there must exist

an appropriate entry in DNS for proper name resolution. The SSL certificate for the secure

web interface (see below) should be also issued for the server (i.e. the server name).

The server name is also used in case that WinRoute needs redirect the browser to the

login page (for example if an unauthenticated user attempts to open a web page where

authentication is required — see chapters

10.1

and

12.2

).

Notes:

1.

If all clients accessing the web interface use the DNS module in WinRoute as a DNS

server, there is no need to add the server name to DNS. The name is already known

and combined with the name of the local domain — see chapter

8.1

).

2.

In the Software Appliance / VMware Virtual Appliance edition, name of the server

defined on the System Configuration tab is set automatically in this item — see chap-

ter

16.1

.

Allow access only from these IP addresses

Select IP addresses which will always be allowed to connect to the Web interface (usually

hosts in the local network). You can also click the Edit button to edit a selected group of

IP addresses or to create a new IP group (details in chapter

14.1

).

Access restrictions are applied to both unencrypted and encrypted versions of the Web

interface.

Advanced parameters for the Web interface can be set upon clicking on the Advanced button.
