Expected Behavior

I have this as part of /etc/fahclient/config.xml:

  <!-- Access -->
  <allow v='127.0.0.1 0.0.0.0/0'/>
  <web-allow v='127.0.0.1 0.0.0.0/0'/>
  <password v='3uBCaP...HfGa'/>

I expect to be able to access the configuration page in any web browser from any network, by going to http://serverip.com:7396/.

Current Behavior

When I go to the page, I just get an HTTP 403 Access Forbidden error.

Maybe try

  <allow v='127.0.0.1 10.0.0.0/8 192.168.0.0/16 172.16.0.0/12 169.254.0.0/16'/>
  <deny v='0.0.0.0/0'/>
  <web-allow v='127.0.0.1 10.0.0.0/8 192.168.0.0/16 172.16.0.0/12 169.254.0.0/16'/>

Are you certain the running client is using /etc/fahclient/config.xml?

No password is used by the web control.

Still didn't work. How can I test that the client is using the specified config file? Is there an easy config option to set the server name or similar?

[kbernhagen]

The top of the client log.txt should indicate the config.xml location. There may also be a symbolic link being used.
