Status files
In addition, WinRoute generates other files and directories where certain status information is
saved:
Files:
dnscache.cfg
DNS files stored in the DNS module’s cache (see chapter 8.1).
leases.cfg
IP addresses assigned by the DHCP server.
This file keeps all information available on the Leases tab of the Configuration →DHCP
server section (refer to chapter 8.2).
stats.cfg
Interface statistics (see chapter 20.2) and user statistics (see chapter 20.1) data.
vpnleases.cfg
IP addresses assigned to VPN clients (see chapter 23.2).
Directories:
logs
The logs directory stores all WinRoute logs (see chapter 22).
star
The star directory includes a complete database for statistics of the WinRoute web inter-
face.
Handling configuration files
We recommend that WinRoute Firewall Engine be stopped prior to any manipulation with
the configuration files (backups, recoveries, etc.)! Information contained within these files is
loaded and saved only upon starting or stopping the MailServer. All changes to the configura-
tion performed while the Engine is running are only stored in memory. All modifications done
during Engine performance will be overwritten by the configuration in the system memory
when the Engine is stopped.
25.3 Automatic user authentication using NTLM
WinRoute supports automatic user authentication by the NTLM method (authentication from
Web browsers). Users once authenticated for the domain are not asked for username and
password.
Thischapter provides detailed description on conditions and configuration settings for correct
functioning of NTLM.
