Configuring WebAdmin

The WebAdmin Agent is represented in eDirectory™ by the Web Administration Server object. This object is automatically created in the same context as the NCP Server object when the WebAdmin Agent is installed to the server.

You can configure the following options from the Web Administration Server object’s Configuration menu.

IMPORTANT: You must restart the webadmin executable to effect any changes in the Web Administration Server object's configuration. For information on loading and unloading this executable, see the Novell® NetMail® Administration Guide at http://www.novell.com/documentation.

 

Configuration

Port

The port WebAdmin uses for HTTP connections.

On standard versions of NetMail, the default port assignment is 89.

IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to secure access to WebAdmin by reassigning its port assignment. Although changing the port assignment obscures the connection, it does not provide a high level of security.

 

SSL Port

The port WebAdmin uses for HTTPS connections.

On standard versions of NetMail, the default port assignment is 449.

 

Template and Snapin Path

The path for the WebAdmin template and application snapins.

NOTE: NetMail and Novell® Nsure™ Audit each have their own WebAdmin snapin.

 

SSL Certificate Path

The path and filename for the SSL certificate WebAdmin uses to secure HTTP connections.

The default directories are as follows:

sys:\system\webadmin\ (NetWare®)

\program files\novell\webadmin\ (Windows*)

/opt/novell/WebAdmin/ (Linux*)

 

SSL Private Key Path

The path and filename for the private key file WebAdmin uses to secure HTTP connections.

If this field is left blank, WebAdmin assumes the private key is included with the certificate and uses the path and filename for the SSL Certificate.

The default directories are as follows:

sys:\system\webadmin\ (NetWare)

\program files\novell\webadmin\ (Windows)

/opt/novell/WebAdmin/ (Linux)
