Configuring Gauntlet for Remote Administration
169
Use this procedure to configure the Gauntlet firewall for remote administration:
1. Working locally on the firewall, set the Gauntlet configuration flag on.
This command sets the Gauntlet configuration flag on so that the Netscape server
for Gauntlet administration starts on port 21000 whenever the system is booted:
# chkconfig gauntlet-admin on
2. Access the Gauntlet administration interface and display the introductory
management form.
(See steps 1 through 3 of “Configuring Gauntlet Locally” on page 118 if you need
instructions.) Find the Proxy Servers Configuration option on the introductory form
(shown in Figure 17-4).
3. Select Proxy Servers Configuration from the introductory management form.
After your selection, the Proxy Servers Configuration form is displayed (shown in
Figure 17-10).
4. Click Enable remote gauntlet administration proxy? on the Proxy Servers Configuration
form.
The button to enable remote Gauntlet administration appears near the end of the
Proxy Servers Configuration form (shown in Figure 17-12). To enable remote
registration of the firewall, click this button.
5. Reset the port number and timeout value, if necessary.
The default port for remote Gauntlet administration proxy is 21001; normally, it is
not necessary to change this port assignment. However, if port 21001 is unavailable
(because another service is using it, for example), you can assign a different port for
the remote administration proxy by entering a new port number in the port number
field. You can also enter a different timeout value if a different timeout interval is
required.
6. Click Configure All on the introductory management form to put your changes in
effect (see Figure 17-3).
