Chilling_Silence's blogSC VoIP001: Securing the default Elastix WebGUI passwords
Starting off a new line of Screencasts, we have the first one on securing the default Elastix WebGUI passwords. This may seem obvious but many people only do *half* the job, leaving their system totally wide open when they port-forward TCP 443 so it’s publicly accessible.
See for yourself by going to your Elastix system and adding this in to the URL:
/admin/
You will see yourself presented with a new login box. Type in “admin” as the Username & Password.
Many people don’t know, or don’t change the Unembedded FreePBX password, so we will show you how to fix this issue.
This is the first of hopefully many screencast tutorials.
This screencast will open in an overlay. To close it, simply click outside of the video.
As always, if you found this useful, please leave a comment and introduce yourself! 🙂
That was great chill.
You should do more of those
I am just starting out with Elastix and I have
installed 2 systems in small businesses 8 ext and I use Trixbox at home.
Security worries me alot with these systems, so I have not forwarded
port 443 yet, while I still don’t know enough.
Your tutorials are helping me though.
Thanks.
Cool mate, glad I could help.
To be honest if you don’t need remote extensions, it’s potentially worth not forwarding anything. If you must forward ports, then use Fail2Ban 🙂
