I just started using ASL. I have ASL 5.026 at home. I'd like to be able to administer it from work. Work doesn't allow outgoing VPN, so I've been using SSH (with TCP forwarding) to access the machines on my home network. When I try to access WebAdmin through the SSH tunnel I get the following message:
"Your request comes from an address used on one of the firewalls interfaces. This probably means that you access WebAdmin with one of the firewalls proxies, which is not allowed due to security considerations. Please disable the proxy for WebAdmin access and try again."
I'm not using the proxy, but the idea is the same - the SSH traffic looks like it's coming from the local machine. I have the webadmin settings allowing "any" traffic, and I can access it using both the internal and external networks. I don't see any packet filter log events, which leads me to believe that the issue lies with webadmin/http server configuration rejecting the connection. I'm not using a proxy to connect, but I could if there is a way for that to work.
This gets logged in the webadmin log:
2004:11:01-10:15:22 (none) webadmin[1310]: U:admin ID:0121
Is there a way to allow the WebAdmin to be accessed via a secured SSH tunnel to the local interface? It seems a lot less secure to have to open it up for "any" network vs. using SSH and TCP Forwarding.
Thanks,
Greg
