HELP!!! IPcop web admin


Just a quick question really....

Is it even possible to access the web admin using the RED interface in IPcop?

I have tried many thing and different configuration. But it seems I can’t get it to work.

Has anyone ever successfully configured IPcop web admin to be access from the Red interface?

Thanks

ej

I don't know this to be true because I have not done it but I would think that you would want to ssh into the box and run the web interface through the ssh tunnel.

Thanks crimsontide for pointing me the right way... After a little searching and reading I found it. Thanks Ben for posting your notes...

Here’s what Ben wrote:

"On your IPCop admin pages, open external access to port 222 by clicking
"Firewall", "External Access". For the "Source Address", you can leave it
blank for any IP, but I put in an IP range that I know is used by my
company, which is the only other location from which I expect to access my
IPCop box, so I entered "111.222.333.0/8" (example). "Destination Port" is "222" and the "Destination IP" is "Default IP". Click on "Add".

Now click on "System", "SSH Access". The third option down should read
"Allow TCP Forwarding". Click on the check box (and "Save"), if you have
not already done so. That's it for the IPCop end.

Open up Putty and configure [3] it as you like. Personally, I saved two
configurations:

One for SSH access only, and another for SSH with tunneling activated. For the tunnel, I chose port 1443 (SSL port with a "1" in front) but you can choose any port that is not already taken on your "external" computer (the computer you will use to access IPCop from outside your network). So in the tunnel configuration of Putty I entered a "Source port" of "1443" and a "Destination" of "localhost:445". With the "Local" radio button selected, click on "Add". GO BACK UP TO "SESSION" AND SAVE YOUR SETTINGS BEFORE YOU OPEN A CONNECTION or you will have to repeat this process the next time you use Putty!

With settings saved, open a SSH connection to your IPCop and log in. Then
open your browser and enter "https://127.0.0.1:<whatever port you used>".
For example, my URL is "https://127.0.0.1:1443";. (You can also use
"localhost" in place of "127.0.0.1".) You should receive a warning about a new cert that is unknown. As it's your IPCop, you can probably trust it."

I hope this will help everyone out that’s trying to access IPcop web admin page from the outside.
