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.
