Console Configuration

To change the console parameters, open the console and select Console Configuration.

Changing the console port

In the Console Configuration dialog, select Parameters. Enter a new port number in the Port field and press OK or press Auto Detect.

If the port number is invalid or is already used by another application on your computer, the console displays an error and asks you to enter another value.

Changing the console access credentials

Because the console access needs authorization, it is important to keep your console access credentials secret. It is also highly recommended not to choose them similar to your system login or password or any valuable credentials. Indeed, as the console relies on the browser to perform the authorization and as browsers use a relatively weak authorization scheme, console access information could be intercepted and deciphered by malicious persons on the network.

To change the console access credentials:

Once the change is made, the browser asks you to enter the new login and password.

Changing the language

To change the language used in the console:

To add support for an additional language, download the corresponding language file from http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/languages and save it inside <Abyss Web Server directory>/lang. You may need to restart the server to have it take into account the new language file.

Controlling the access to the console

To restrict or grant access to the console to an IP address or an IP address range, go to the Console Configuration dialog and select IP Address Control.

The displayed dialog contains the following items:

Note: The access to the console is always allowed for the computer on which Abyss Web Server runs (which IP address is 127.0.0.1.)

Note: If Denied IP Addresses list is empty and the order is Deny/Allow, access is granted to any IP address.
