Chapter 6. Administration of the Telecommuting Module

You also need to conﬁgure who can access the Telecommuting Module web interface. This is done on the Access Control page under Basic Conﬁguration .

Remember that the conﬁguration you see in the web interface (preliminary conﬁguration) isn’t necessarily the work conﬁguration (permanent conﬁguration) of the Telecommuting Module. When all conﬁguration is made in the web interface, it must be applied. This is done on the Save/Load Conﬁguration page under Administration.

Access Control

On the Access Control page, settings are made which controls the access to the Telecommuting Module administration web interface.

Select one or two conﬁguration IP addresses for the Telecommuting Module. The conﬁguration address is the IP address to which you direct your web browser to access the web interface of the Telecommuting Module.

For each network interface, you also specify whether or not the Telecommuting Module can be conﬁgured via this network interface.

You also select what kind of authentication will be performed for the users trying to access the web interface.

To further increase security, the Telecommuting Module can only be conﬁgured from one or a few computers that are accessed from one of these interfaces. Enter the IP address or addresses that can conﬁgure the Telecommuting Module. The IP addresses can belong to one or more computers.

Conﬁguration Allowed Via Interface

Specify whether or not this interface can be used to conﬁgure the Telecommuting Module. The choices are On and Off. This conﬁguration is a complement to the Conﬁguration Computers setting below.

User Authentication

Select where the administrator database is: Local users (administrator users are deﬁned locally on the Telecommuting Module), RADIUS (administrator users are deﬁned on an external RADIUS server), or a choice between the two alternatives at login (Local users or RADIUS database).

Local administrator users and their passwords are deﬁned on the User Administration page under Administration. If the authentication should be made by help of a RADIUS server, you must enter one on the RADIUS page.

Conﬁguration Transport

Select one or two Telecommuting Module IP addresses. The Telecommuting Module web server will listen for web trafﬁc on the selected IP addresses and ports.
