Remote Admin Connection Problem


  • MDaemon 23.5 on Server 2022

    I use a redirect to access remote admin, webadmin.domain.com which translates to mail.domain.com:444.  Yesterday remote admin stopped working on the LAN and from outside the router.  Remote adimin ports 444 and 1001 are listening on the server and I can access on the server itself via Chrome using webadmin.domain.com so the redirect is working properly.  However, from any computer on the LAN I cannot connect.  Here is a snippet from the WDaemon log:

    Any thoughts as to why this is happening?

    Thanks,

  • What are you using to do the redirecting?  Is that device logging any errors?  

    When on the LAN, are you typically allowed to access https://mail.domain.com:444 or http://mail.domain.com:1001?  Is it currenlty working?

    If you run fiddler on one of the LAN machines and try to access http://webadmin.domain.com what does it show is happening?

    For the HTTPS connections, can you confirm the certificates are still valid and that they support the host names you are connecting to?


  • I use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for DNS and Redirection.  Redirection is working for webmail.domain.com which redirects to https://mail.domain.com:443 , but webadmin.domain.com is not working.  Even if I enter the redirection address manually, https://mail.domain.com:444 it does not work.  I am not familiar with Fiddler but I will give it a try.  As for certificates, Let's encrypt renewed the certificate just before this occurred, however, email accounts are working in Outlook as is Webmail.


  • @Arron

    [Fiddler] The connection to 'mail.domain.com' failed. <br />Error: TimedOut (0x274c). <br />System.Net.Internals.SocketExceptionFactory+ExtendedSocketException A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. 173.x.x.x:444

  • @Arron I restored an image from two weeks ago just before the certificate update and re-ran Let's Encrypt update and now Webadmin works.  Something must have gone wrong when I ran the Let's Encrypt update the first time.  Thank you Arron for your time and the question that triggered the solution to the problem.

     


  • I'm glad you got it working again.
