Setting Remote Administration
If you wish to administer Kerio MailServer from a different computer than the one on which it is installed, you need to enable remote administration. Communication between Kerio MailServer and Kerio Administration Console is encrypted (using the SSL protocol), so remote administration is secure and transmitted data cannot be captured and misused. Access to the administration should always be protected by a password (i.e. it is not recommended that you leave the administrator password blank). You can also enable remote administration only from selected IP addresses for greater security.
You can set remote administration in the Configuration Remote Administration section.
Figure 5. Remote Administration
The port used for communication between Kerio Administration Console and Kerio MailServer Engine is 44337 (both TCP and UDP protocols are used).
- Enable remote administration from network
- Enables remote administration (if this option is not selected, you can only administer Kerio MailServer from the computer it is installed on).
- Only from this IP address group
- Here you can choose the IP address group from which remote administration will be allowed. Using the Edit button you can edit the address group or create a new one (the dialog window is the same as in the Configuration Definitions IP Address Groups section see chapter IP Address Groups).
