Hello Anthony,

Use SSH (Secure Shell), it's a protocol used to securely log onto remote systems.

# ssh x.x.x.x (server IP)
# administrator password

Note: you may access via linux based system or third party tool like Putty

Hi AnthonyG,

check scalix server Firewall setting, SSH port No. 22 is allowed ?

If not allowed then add below entry for SSH.

-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT

Hi,

Thanks lot , firewall was on and added entry in firewall, now able to access SSH properly.

The Scalix Administration Console is a Web application provided by a Tomcat application server. The only requirement for it is a modern browser supporting JavaScript. Firefox and Internet Explorer do fine, Konqueror may work soon. The Admin Console window is split in three parts:

A menu with icons called Toolbar
A list view on the lower left named Contents Pane and
The main window on the right, called Display Pane

The icons in the menu bar let you choose the administration task you want to accomplish, the content pane lists the possible entries that can be edited, and the options and parameters of a selected entry are presented in the display pane.

Scalix is based on Hewlett-Packard's long-gone OpenMail software, and interestingly, most of the commands still begin with om. For example, the ommon tool starts Scalix services, and the ommon tool monitors the system. Tools are installed in the /opt directory, and there are a lot of them well over 300 in the server package alone.
