| Introduction
| |
iManager empowers your
Virtual Subhost customers to manage their own accounts using the comfortable,
easy to use iManager environment. Available features include:
-
Changing their password and viewing their quota and usage
-
Uploading and editing files to their home directory
-
Sending and receiving E-mail through the web-based Mail Manager
Additionally, iManager will help you successfully manage the configuration of Virtual Subhost E-mail accounts.

| Configuration
| |
iManager authenticates a user by looking in the ~/etc/passwd file. Hence, any user with a valid
Virtual Private Server User Account can access iManager with their login and
password. Access will be granted only to the user's home directory.
-
If you have configured a user account for your Virtual Subhost customers, then they can access iManager using the
Virtual Private Server IP address or hostname, like this:
http://YOUR.IP.ADD.RESS/imanager/
http://YOUR-DOMAIN.NAME/imanager/
The users would simply use their user account login and password in order to authenticate.
-
An easy way to configure your Virtual Private Server so that a subhosted domain name can access iManager is to use a
canonical domain name such as imanager or mail. Consider the following examples:
http://imanager.SUBHOST-DOMAIN.NAME/
http://mail.SUBHOST-DOMAIN.NAME/
To enable access to iManager in this way, complete the following steps.
-
Add a CNAME record in the zone file for the Virtual Subhost's domain name. We suggest using imanager or
mail for the CNAME record (for example, imanager.SUBHOST-DOMAIN.NAME or
mail.SUBHOST-DOMAIN.NAME), but you can specify any name you want.
-
Add the following <VirtualHost...> directive to your web server configuration file
(~/www/conf/httpd.conf).
<VirtualHost imanager.SUBHOST-DOMAIN.NAME>
ServerName imanager.SUBHOST-DOMAIN.NAME
ServerAdmin webmaster@SUBHOST-DOMAIN.NAME
DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache/htdocs/imanager
TransferLog /dev/null
</VirtualHost>
or alternatively:
<VirtualHost mail.SUBHOST-DOMAIN.NAME>
ServerName mail.SUBHOST-DOMAIN.NAME
ServerAdmin webmaster@SUBHOST-DOMAIN.NAME
DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache/htdocs/imanager
TransferLog /dev/null
</VirtualHost>
NOTE: If you would like to use a different canonical name, then substitute the CNAME record
you created for imanager or mail above in the VirtualHost and ServerName
directives. Do not change the DocumentRoot directive.
