WebAdmin

IceWarp WebAdmin is the web-based interface to IceWarp Server administration.

Please be aware of its limitations compared to other administrative tools:

WebAdmin cannot execute programs, configure DB connections, stop Web/Control service without disconnecting you, it provides only basic charting/statistics and some advanced setup options are not implemented.

For comprehensive remote server management, consider the following tools:

Remote Connection from Administration GUI application, more details in the Remote Server Administration chapter.
Administration GUI including Remote Console also runs in Wine on Linux. More details can be found in the Linux Quick Guide and in Support Knowledge Base.
The command-line interpreter tool.exe or tool.sh for direct API access, more details in the IceWarp Server API chapter.
Linux wizard script ./wizard.sh which provides basic operations on account, storage and license management. More details in Installation and Control in Linux Guide.

webadmin_main_screen

Working with WebAdmin is very easy because the design of the options is very similar to the one you know from IceWarp Server Administration Console. There is context sensitive help available for all screens in WebAdmin, simply click the blue (?) button located in the right top corner.

webadmin_domain_properties

You can access WebAdmin at:

http://yourIP/admin/

or, if not using the default port:

http://yourIP[:ControlServicePort]/admin/

http://hostname/admin/

or http://hostname[:ControlServicePort]/admin/ – respectively.

Example:

If you are running Control Service on the default port 80 and you have your server installed on a computer with IP address 83.21.14.51 you can access WebAdmin at http://83.21.14.51/admin/

webadmin_login

Additionally, you can set a new web service host on your IceWarp Server to access the WebAdmin at a defined URL, e.g. http://webadmin.yourdomain.com. You should create such a host also in your DNS pointing to your IceWarp Server's IP and in the website definition, in the Web node of the console, set the home directory to html\admin.

WebAdmin respects the extended access rights that you can specify in Management – User – Permissions – Rights – Advanced. This way you can limit access of domain administrators to only specified domains, set which particular account types the administrator can modify and hide administrative options they should not be able to access.

WebAdmin Customization – Tooltips

You can customize tooltips text, insert images and links into them, etc.

webadmin_tooltip

In the user.xml file (IceWarp\html\admin\xml\accounts\), add the following parameters:

tooltip – the appropriate alang identifier. Find it in the alang.html file (IceWarp\html\admin\lang\[language_code]\).
tooltipheight, tooltipwidth – tooltip box size in pixels.

For example:

<OPTION type="password" name="user_password" tooltipheight="90" tooltipwidth="224" tooltip="TStrings_wa_comment_pwd" function="user_password" label="TFrameAccounts_PassLabel"/>

In the alang.html file, add html tags to modify a tooltip text.

NOTE: You have to use HTML special chars within a tooltip string. (< for < etc.) Also, use ' (apostrophe) instead of " (quotes) – src='http://...' for src="http://...".

To convert usual html chars to special ones, use this link: http://www.tools4noobs.com/online_php_functions/htmlspecialchars/

Example:

$alang["TStrings_wa_comment_pwd"] = "Type your <b>password  </b> <img src='http://everydayfoodstorage.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/top-secret-rubber-ink-stamp-thumb157221.jpg' width='80' />";
