Logging on to the WebAdmin Interface

In AXIGEN 6.1, the WebAdmin service is enabled by default. The WebAdmin module, according to the default configuration listens to the 9000/tcp port. When typing in the IP/port combination to WebAdmin in your browser, the following login window will be displayed:

Manual WebAdmin Service Configuration


To configure the WebAdmin service for remote access, you can either do so when configuring it within the AXIGEN Configuration Wizard, or by modifying the IP/port combination in the axigen.cfg configuration file. For the configuration file option, follow the procedure below:
  1. In the webadmin {} context, configure the default listener:
      webadmin = {
        ...
        listeners = (
        {
          address = 127.0.0.1:9000
          enable = yes
          ...
        }


  2. You need to set in the listener's address parameter the IP address of the machine on which AXIGEN is installed. Or, you can set this parameter to 0.0.0.0 (in this case, the listener will listen to all machine interfaces). When accessing the AXIGEN WebMail, you need to replace the 127.0.0.1 IP from the URL with the IP address of the machine on which the AXIGEN Mail Server is installed. For example, if the machine running AXIGEN has the 192.168.1.1 IP address, change the IP/port data under Server->WebAdmin->Listeners->Address to match your IP/port:
    server {
        ...
        webadmin {
            ...
             listeners = ( {
                 ...
                 address = 192.168.1.1:9000
                 enable = yes


    Remember to reload your AXIGEN Mail Server after each change in the configuration files.
  3. Check the system log file(s) for confirmation that the WebAdmin service is correctly loaded. The system log file should display a message similar to the one below:

    ...INFO: WEBADMIN: listener added 192.168.1.1:9000
    ...SUCCESS: WEBADMIN: started

    You can now login to WebAdmin. Start your favorite browser and enter the IP/port pair you have configured. In the example set above, the default address is http://192.168.1.1:9000.
    Login using the admin username and the password you have previously set.
For details on how to set the WebAdmin interface automatically, see the AXIGEN Configuration Wizard section.
