Wingate Log

[maurizio]

I'm using wingate plus.

I would like to let users of local network, to be able to examine wingate's log file from a web interface or similar.

The only way I've found for display that information is the history windows, but I've to use computer which runs wingate server.

I wold like to let network administrator to examine log file in a simple way using their pc.

There's any utility included in wingate for do that?

Thank you
Maurizio

The normal installation of WinGate installs a special installation of a WWW proxy on a different port (I think it is 8080) called the log file viewer.

You can point your web browser at this, and see the log files.

If it isn't there, add a new service, WWW proxy, set on the non-proxy request tab, to serve the file, and specify the root directory. You probably also want to specify that no SSL connections can be made, or better still don't bind this service to your external interface. If you need to, ways to secure it are:

1. require authenticated users only with Java login (requires the Remote Control Service also to be bound to the same interface)
2. Specify in the policies that "Is Non-proxy request" must be true.
3. In the HTTPs tab, uncheck the "allow ANY port..." and don't add any.
