This option can only be used if the master system has the Net::SSLeay Perl module and the OpenSSL library installed, so that it can make a client-mode SSL connection.

If the other Webmin server is in SSL mode, select Yes in the SSL server? field.

This only sets the icon that will be used to represent the server.

From the Server type menu choose the operating system that the other host runs.

In the Port field enter the port that Webmin is listening on, usually 10000.

In the Hostname field enter the Internet hostname or IP address of the other server, such as.

Click on the Register a new server link on the main page above or below the existing icons.

To add a new server to this module, either to provide a link to it or so that it can be managed with one of the Cluster group modules, follow these steps : However, the module's RPC features will naturally only work when communicating with a host running Webmin. At the bottom are buttons for automatically finding other Webmin servers on your local network.Įven though it was designed for creating an index of Webmin web servers, there is not reason that you cannot create icons for other types of web server instead.

Of course, if this is the first time the module has been used, no server icons will appear initially. Most of the page is taken up with a table of icons, one for each of the other servers that you have added. When you click on the module's icon in the Webmin category, a page like the one shown in the image below will be displayed. How this all works is explained in detail in this chapter. Each of these other systems must also have Webmin installed, and a special RPC (Remote Procedure Call) protocol is used by the master to communicate with and control the slaves. Each icon can either be a normal link, or a 'tunnel' that logs you into another server automatically with all traffic sent via the first system.Īs well, the module can be used to define systems which can be controlled by a master Webmin server, using the System and Server Status module and the modules in the Cluster category. You can use it to create a master index of other systems running Webmin on your network, each of which is shown as an icon that you can click on to link to the server. This module really serves two purposes, one simple and one quite complex.
