Configuration Server
This server allow
you to configure your server environment through a web interface
(i.e. like browsing a web site). For using this you must add a new
user with administrator rights (i.e. add the command "Administrator"
to that user).
This server is
actually an extension of the HTTP Server,
but the available configuration options are very limited to ensure
security. Actually the only thing that must be set is the port.
The default value is 6001 (but this may be changed to whatever you
want).
The "configuration
website" can be copied to another website of your choice. For
this, you should take a look at the default configuration used for
this server and duplicate it in your site. This may be useful for
creating a domain like "admin.yourdomain.com" to allow
remote administration. Also, because users can read their e-mail
through this interface, you could create something like "email.yourdomain.com".
Warning:
You must make sure that the administrative
user/password combination is known only by the administrator.
If someone finds this password he/she will be able to modify
your server configuration. This can result in serious problems
for your server or for your local network. You should
follow this advice regardless of the server you're using.
