Web Interface Access

ListManager supports a number of features for controlling access to the web interface. These features are:

Name/password access

Both the user and administrator portions of the web interface require a username and password. In the case of members, the username is always the email address. For administrators, a password is required. For users, the list administrator can decide whether passwords should be used at all, optional or required.

Visitors

The web interface supports the concept of a "visitor", which is a person who is not a member of the mailing list, but should nonetheless be given access to read the archives of the mailing list. "Visitors: yes/no" is a list administrator controlled setting, on a list-by-list basis.

TCP/IP access

The server admin may limit access to the web interface based on TCP/IP address in Utilities: Administration: Server: Server Settings: Security: Web.

Custom web interface

The web interface is written in Tcl and the complete source code is included. You are welcome to change the web interface to suit your needs. No royalties are paid to us and no permission need be requested of us in order to do this. Some people write just a few pages for subscribing and unsubscribing, and do not show their "public" users that the web interface even exists.
