[Solved] User's Corner
« on: August 14, 2012, 07:06:54 pm »
I can access User's Corner from my network without a problem.  Is there a way to access it from outside the network??  I have forwarded the ports but the page just comes up with a timed out error.

Usercorner is just a HTTP service, there must be something wrong with your redirect.

To me, using port forwarding in order to access service running on Zentyal server itself is somewhat strange, don't you think so?  ::)
Normal design (from my standpoint) is to ensure such service is listening on external interface and ensure firewall rules permit access on such port.

I have the HTTP and HTTPS server allowed to Zentyal with packet filtering, that did not work.  Is user's corner designed to only be accessed while on the network rather than from outside the network?  I also created a new rule from external networks to Zentyal using packet filtering to allow the port assigned to users corner to zentyal.  User's Corner uses https which as I said before is also allowed

You should just have to create a rule in zentyal firewall under external networks to zentyal.

Something like
FROM: Any
Source Port: Any
Destination: Usercorner

User Corner uses port 8888 by default.  So you would have to point your external client to https://yourserverIP:8888

From Any to Any seems like a security hole to me, I created one that said from any to 8888 and it didn't work, I then removed the service and added it again, now it works, something must have hung up before. Thanks
