Chapter 12<br />

Web Interface<br />

<strong>Kerio</strong> Control includes a special web server which provides an interface where statistics can be<br />

viewed (<strong>Kerio</strong> StaR), as well as for firewall administration via web browser (the <strong>Kerio</strong> Control<br />

Administration interface) and for setting of some user account parameters. Access to the web<br />

interaced is secured by SSL so that the network communication cannot be tapped and fragile<br />

data such as user password and other cannot be misused.<br />

Use the following URL (server refers to the name or IP of the <strong>Kerio</strong> Control host, 4081<br />

represents a web interface port) to open the firewall’s web interface.<br />

https://server:4081/<br />

An unsecured web interface at port 4080 is also available:<br />

https://server:4080/<br />

By default, the unsecured web interface is accessible only on the firewall’s local loopback<br />

address (localhost, typically 127.0.0.1). Connections to port 4080 from outside computers<br />

will be redirected to the secured web interface automatically (https://server:4081/). This<br />

behavior can be changed in the Configuration → Advanced Options section, the Web Interface<br />

tab (for details, see chapter 12.1).<br />

Web interface ports cannot be changed.<br />

This chapter addresses the web interface configuration in the <strong>Kerio</strong> Control’s administration<br />

program. <strong>Kerio</strong> StaR and user web interface are addressed in detail in the <strong>Kerio</strong> Control —<br />

User’s <strong>Guide</strong>.<br />

12.1 Web interface and certificate settings information<br />

To configure<strong>Kerio</strong> Control web interface, go to the Web Interface tab in Configuration → Advanced<br />

Options.<br />

In the upper section you can find links to unsecured versions of the firewall’s web interface<br />

and the administration interface (<strong>Kerio</strong> Control Administration). Lower you can get information<br />

about the SSL certificate used for the secured version of the web interface and an option to<br />

change the certificate if desirable.<br />

Uncheck the Use SSL-secured connection option to enable access to an unsecured web interface<br />

(including the administration interface) from any computer. Anyway, for security reasons, we<br />

recommend to always leave this option checked and use the secured web interface.<br />
