Chapter 6. Administration of the Telecommuting Module

Configuration via HTTP

Select which IP address and port the Telecommuting Module administrator should direct her web browser to when HTTP is used for Telecommuting Module configuration. You can select from the Telecommuting Module IP addresses configured on the Interface pages under Network Configuration.

You can use different IP addresses for HTTP, HTTPS, and SSH configuration.

Configuration via HTTPS

Select which IP address and port the Telecommuting Module administrator should direct her web browser to when HTTPS is used for Telecommuting Module configuration. You can select from the Telecommuting Module IP addresses configured on the Interface pages under Network Configuration.

You can use different IP addresses for HTTP, HTTPS, and SSH configuration.

You also need to select an X.509 certificate, which works as an ID card, identifying the Telecommuting Module to your web browser. This will ensure that you are really communicating with your Telecommuting Module and not somebody else’s computer. HTTPS uses an encryption method using two keys, one secret and one public. The secret key is kept in the Telecommuting Module and the public key is used in the certificate. If any of the keys is changed, the HTTPS connection won’t work.

All local certificates for the Telecommuting Module are created on the Certificates page under Basic Configuration.

Configuration via SSH

Select which IP address and port the Telecommuting Module administrator should direct her ssh client to when SSH is used for Telecommuting Module configuration. You can select from the Telecommuting Module IP addresses configured on the Interface pages under Network Configuration.

For SSH configuration, the Command Language Interface is used. See also chapter 18 of the Reference Guide.

You can use different IP addresses for HTTP, HTTPS, and SSH configuration.

Configuration Computers

Enter the IP address or addresses that can configure the Telecommuting Module. The IP addresses can belong to one or more computers.

Note that you must also allow configuration via the Telecommuting Module interface that the computers are connected to. See Configuration Allowed Via Interface above.
