Change WebAdmin Password
You should change the WebAdmin password immediately after initial installation and configuration, and
also change it regularly thereafter. Select the Allowed networks from the drop-down box. To change the
password for WebAdmin, enter the existing password in the Old Password field, enter the new
password into the New Password field and confirm your new password by re-entering it into the
Confirmation entry field.
Caution: Use secure passwords! For example, your name spelled backwards is not secure enough;
something like xfT35$4 is better.
Time before automatic disconnect (sec)
An automatic inactivity disconnection interval is implemented for security purposes. In the
Time before automatic disconnect entry field, enter the desired timespan (in seconds) after which you
will be automatically disconnected from WebAdmin if no operations take place.
After the initial installation, the default setting is 300 seconds. The smallest possible setting is 60 seconds.
If you close the browser in the middle of an open WebAdmin session without leaving WebAdmin via Exit,
the last session stays active until the end of the time-out and no new administrator can log in.
If using ssh, you can manually remove the active session if you log into the RouteFinder as loginuser via
SSH. With the command SU, you become a root user and can then interrupt the current WebAdmin
connection with rm -f /tmp/wfelock.
To log into WebAdmin, enter the User name and the Password that were set up during initial
installation. Change your passwords often! The default TCP port for WebAdmin is 443, which is also the
default port for HTTPS sessions. You can change the port setting within WebAdmin with the TCP Port
setting.
WebAdmin TCP Port
Enter the port number for WebAdmin TCP Port usage. The default is Port 443.
Change WebAdmin TCP Port
If you want to use the HTTPS service for other purposes (e.g., a diversion with DNAT), you must enter a
different TCP port for the WebAdmin interface here. Possible values are 1-65535, but remember that
certain ports are reserved for other services. We suggest you use ports 440-450. To contact WebAdmin
after the change, you must append the port to the IP address of the RouteFinder separated by a colon
(e.g.,
https://192.168.0.1:445
). Refer to the Well Known Ports section in Chapter 1 of this manual.
