Authentication Methods - Gatekeeper
GateKeeper is used to control and configure the WinGate Engine.
It communicates with the engine using the Remote Control Service so this is the service that you are authenticating for (and is the highest level of authentication).
To use GateKeeper to authenticate remotely:
- Copy GateKeeper.exe from the WinGate Server \WinGate installation directory to a location on the remote machine.
- On the remote machine open the newly copied GateKeeper.exe.
- Enter the following information when logging on:
- Username:
- A WinGate user account (not Windows unless using the Operating system(windows) database option.)
- Password:
- The password for the WinGate user account entered.
- Server:
- The network name or IP-address of the computer that WinGate is running on.
- Port:
- This will always be Port 808 (unless you explicitly change the port that the Remote Control Service runs on).
If you are having problems logging into GateKeeper then check the bindings on the Remote Control Service (make sure that this service is bound to the interface that your connection will be received on). (See Remote Access to GateKeeper )
Also, note that if you do not have an administrator password set then WinGate will not allow this service to bind to any publicly visible interfaces (e.g. the Internet). This is to prevent intruders from the Internet zone logging into your WinGate engine and making changes.
