Why can't I see History for the admin machine?

Postby jazzzz » Oct 23 06 5:38 am

I can't view history or activity for my the wingate server why? I will see email when it is accessed but anyother sites are not displayed on the activity page. If this was available to me I could trouble shoot some site problems I am having such as what port is being accessed so I can control it through the firewall. I allow to bindings on my machine 192.168.0.1 and 127.0.0.1 and I proxy my browsers and email through 192.168.0.1 only.

Are you connecting with Gatekeeper remotely?

The history is only available if Gatekeeper is connected to Wingate on the local machine.

No I am not and I can see when my local machine accesses the mail server but any url addresses I access do not appear in my history in Wingate.

If you map a drive to the directory where GateKeeper lives on the WinGate server and run GateKeeper from there you should see the activity.

Be aware you will have a potentially huge amount of traffic between your local computer and the WinGate server.

Thanks Labull,
I didn't even know they added support for viewing history remotely in Gatekeeper, live and learn.

If I am correctly understanding, you are trying to use the Wingate machine to access web pages so you can see the requests?
What you are describing sounds pretty normal to me if that is the case.

At a minimum you would need to have the browser on the wingate PC set to use proxy at 127.0.0.1 and whatever port you have configured.That should at least run normal browser requests through your wingate service.

Otherwise can you just use another PC on your network and do the testing on it and RDC into your wingate box just to view what is going on?

Let us know if that helps.

Cheers :)
