Sophos Anti-Virus for Linux: remote management
The Sophos Anti-Virus for Linux management interface is normally only available on the server on which the Sophos Anti-Virus central installation was made (the local host).

This is to prevent potential compromise of anti-virus protection, in the event that someone is able to hack in and discover web manager credentials as they are transported over the network.

What to do
If you need to access the management interface remotely, in order to manage configuration settings or check the status of computers, you can do this using standard Linux tools, such as SSH Port Forwarding, VNC or other port forwarding methods.

SSH Port Forwarding
SSH Port Forwarding (or tunneling) enables secure remote access to Linux computers and is available in most Linux networks. SSH enables the use of public key technology and is accepted as one of the most secure ways to remotely administer a computer.

                     The Sophos Anti-Virus management interface can be accessed using port forwarding by issuing the following command:
      ssh -L 8082:127.0.0.1:8081 user@host

                     This command will make the Sophos Anti-Virus for Linux management interface accessible from wherever you run the command on port 8082 through the secure tunnel.

                     To access the management interface, open a web browser and access http://localhost:8082

                     From here you can configure Sophos Anti-Virus.

VNC
If client computers are running a VNC server, you can connect to the computer using your normal VNC client and access the Sophos Anti-Virus for Linux using a web browser.

Other port forwarding methods
Other methods can be employed to allow remote access to the Sophos Anti-Virus for Linux management interface. For example, you can use Stunnel to enable port forwarding over https.

Configuring Sophos Anti-Virus centrally
Once you have set up remote access, you can make configuration changes from a central updating location. Refer to the section 'Configure Sophos Anti-Virus centrally', in the Sophos Anti-Virus for Linux Startup guide.

If you need more information or guidance, then please contact technical support.
