WebAdmin Configuration
Switch to the menu System/Central Services on the WebAdmin site and activate the service to connect to the Central Server.
As soon as the service has been started, a VPN connection to the Central Server will be established. The remote access via Partner Portal is only allowed once the option Remote Access is activated.
Management via Partner Portal
Log in to the Partner Portal and switch to the menu Shop/Licenses to obtain a listing of all of associated licenses.
For licenses with activated Central Services the appropriate icon can be found in the services column. A grey icon means that there is no connection to the Central Server.
Right click on the license and then click on Remote Access. A new browser window opens and connects directly to the WebAdmin interface of the corresponding IACBOX. The same can be done from the Central Services menu.
Now the IACBOX can be managed via the WebAdmin site as usual.
Single Sign On
Login will happen automatically when connecting via Central Services. This feature is enabled for all users in the group Technical staff or for any specified user (email us!).
