Enable/Disable remote access

To use remote access (Webmin Management Interface and SSH), you need to enable it first.

Log in to the management mode by typing your password and pressing Enter twice. Select Enable/Disable remote access using the arrow keys and press Enter.

enable_disable_webmin

You can now use:

•Webmin—See Webmin Management Interface for details. Webmin uses HTTPS and runs on port 10000. To access the Webmin interface, use the IP address listed along with the port number 10000 (https://<host name or IP address>:10000 for example https://10.20.30.40:10000 or https://protect.local:10000). When disabled, Webmin is still running and only access to it is blocked in the firewall.

•Remote access over SSH on port 22 (this is required to enable database pull).

User permissions

•The earlier Virtual Appliance based on CentOS: Use the user root for remote connection via SSH and for Webmin login.

•The latest Virtual Appliance based on Rocky Linux (read more):

oOnly the user admin can connect remotely via SSH.

oOnly the user root can log into Webmin.
