Configuring iManager for Virtual Subhosts
iManager authenticates a user by looking in the
~/etc/passwd file. Hence, any user with a valid
User Account
can access iManager with their login and password. Access
will be granted only to the user's home directory.
If you have configured a user account for your
Virtual Subhost
customers, then they can access iManager using the Virtual Server hostname, like this:
http://SERVER.IP.ADDRESS/imanager/
The users would simply use their user account login and password in order
to authenticate. It is also possible to configure your Virtual Server so
that a user can also access iManager using their own domain name, like this:
http://SUBHOSTED-DOMAIN.NAME/imanager/
or something more generic like 'mail' instead of 'imanager', for example:
http://SUBHOSTED-DOMAIN.NAME/mail/
To use either one of the above urls, you would add one of
the following Alias directives to your
web server configuration file (~/www/conf/httpd.conf).
Alias /imanager/ /usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/imanager/
Alias /mail/ /usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/imanager/
Of course, you can choose any alias name that strikes your fancy. You
would simply need to replace '/imanager/' or '/mail/' in one of
the previous Alias directives to be whatever you wish.
