## 19.3 Setting Remote Administration

If you wish to administer Kerio MailServer from a different computer than the one on which it is installed, you need to enable remote administration. You can set remote administration in the Configuration → Remote Administration section.

Remote administration can be enabled for Kerio Administration Console and/or for KMS Web Administration:

Figure 19.5. Remote Administration

### Remote administration of Kerio MailServer

The port used for communication between Kerio Administration Console and Kerio MailServer Engine is 44337 (both TCP and UDP protocols are used).

Enable remote administration from network

  Enables remote administration (if this option is not selected, you can only administer Kerio MailServer from the computer it is installed on).

Only from this IP address group

  The traffic between Kerio MailServer and the Kerio Administration Console is protected by SSL encryption. As a result, remote administration is secure and the data transmitted cannot be tapped and misused. Access to the administration should be always allowed against a valid password only (it is not recommended to use blank passwords for administration accounts).

  Here you can choose the IP address group from which remote administration will be allowed. Click Edit to modify the group or to create a new one (the same dialog is used in Configuration → Definition → IP Groups — see chapter 19.1 IP Address Groups).

### Web administration of users, groups and aliases

Enable web administration from network

  This option enables administration via the Web interface. If this option is disabled, it is not possible to access the interface. For detailed description on administration via the web interface, see chapter 32 KMS Web Administration.

Only from this IP address group

  To even increase security, remote administration can be enabled only for exclusive IP addresses. In the menu, select the group of IP addresses, from which web administration will be enabled. Click Edit to modify the group or to create a new one (the same dialog is used in Configuration → Definition → IP Groups — see chapter 19.1 IP Address Groups).
