Full remote administration occurs over HTTPS using the default 443 SSL port. Limited remote administration can be performed over SSH using the default port 22. This includes system level configuration, debugging/advanced troubleshooting but not DNS administration. The recommended graphical user interface for remote administration is HTTPS.

When negotiating a HTTPS connection with the LoadMaster you may be required to acknowledge security warnings, for example, acknowledging a discrepancy between the hostname and IP or the signer of the certificate. It is safe to allow/permit overrides, all LoadMaster occurs over a secure channel regardless of these warnings. To permanently remove the warning about signing authority you can download the Root certificate by clicking Download Root Cert in the main menu.
