About Accessing the Web Interfaces

The Secure Email and Web Manager appliance has two web interfaces: the standard administrator interface, available by default on port 80, and the spam quarantine end user interface, available by default on port 82. The spam quarantine HTTPS interface defaults to port 83 when enabled.

Because you can specify HTTP or HTTPS when configuring each of the web interfaces (go to Management Appliance > Network > IP Interfaces on the Secure Email and Web Manager appliance), you may be asked to reauthenticate if you switch between the two during your session. For example, if you access the admin web interface through HTTP on port 80 and then, in the same browser, access the spam quarantine end user web interface through HTTPS on port 83, you are asked to reauthenticate if you return to the admin web interface.

Note

Do not perform any configuration changes simultaneously using:

  • Multiple tabs on the same browser.

  • Multiple browsers on the same system or two different systems.

Also, do not use concurrent web interface and CLI sessions as it may lead to unexpected behavior.
