To access the HTTP service using a web browser, insert the IP address (or the name if it is contained in DNS) of the computer where Kerio MailServer is running. A protocol has to be specified in the URL — either HTTP for non-secured access or HTTPS for SSL-encrypted access. The URL can have the following form: http://192.168.1.1/admin or https://mail.company.com/admin.

It is recommend to use the HTTPS protocol for remote access to the service (simple HTTP can be tapped and the user login data can be misused). By default, the HTTP and HTTPS services use the standard ports (80 and 443). If the standard ports are changed, specify the port number in the URL address, like http://192.168.1.1:8000/admin or https://mail.company.com:8080/admin.

If the URL has been entered correctly, a login page will be displayed in the browser. Enter the username and password on this page (if the user does not belong to the primary domain, a complete email address is required).

Log out

It is recommended to log out after finishing work in Web Administration. To log out, click the Logout button in the upper right corner. After logout, users get disconnected from Kerio MailServer, which prevents misuse of such connection.
