Chapter 9 Web Interface
Figure 9.1 Configuration of WinRoute’s Web Interface
Enable secured Web Interface (HTTPS)
Use this option to open the secured version (HTTPS) of the Web interface The de- fault port for this interface is 4081.
WinRoute server name
Server DNS name that will be used for purposes of the Web interface (e.g. server.company.com). The name need not be necessarily identical with the host name, however, there must exist an appropriate entry in DNS for proper name res- olution. 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 chapters8.1 and 10.2).
Note: If all clients accessing the Web Interface use the DNS Forwarder 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 5.3).
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 12.1). Note: Access restrictions are applied to both unencrypted and encrypted versions of the Web interface.
