Protecting admin access 7 Months, 1 Week ago Karma: 0
In my case, all users are remote so I need to put the desktop on the Internet. Is there a method by which to prevent remote users from reaching the admin section via URL blocking or some other means? It does not appear so.

You could add a clause

<Directory "/var/www/html/admin">
deny from all
allow from my.allowed.network/netmask
</Directory>


to /etc/httpd/conf.d/elastix.conf

then issue

/etc/init.d/httpd restart

Be sure to put a secure password.

What does your remote users do? Do they need to access the web interfase?

It would be a good idea to use vpns between Elastix and your clients desktop/phones/networks.

I've tried this but it seems to allow users in who aren't in the network range.

I had put the changes in when I asked here about this but had forgotten that the web server hasn't been restarted since then.

Next question; Any way of preventing the login pop up box next?

To prevent temptation by anyone who found it popping up. We don't need this from outside, we need it only from inside while allowing users to get at their dashboard.
