Viewing log and audit files

For easy viewing of user audits and service log files, WinGate has a Logfile server. This is a WWW proxy service on port 8010, configured to serve audits and logs.

You need to ensure that your browser is configured not to use proxies for ‘wingate’ or its IP. Add this line to your ‘Don’t use proxies for:’ section in your browser setup:

wingate:8010

To view the logs, you simply point your browser to

http://wingate:8010

or

http://192.168.0.1:8010

(Or the IP of WinGate)

A file, index.html is served from the WinGate directory. Three links are available:

Service Logs

User Audits

Gatekeeper.exe

Selecting either of the first two will take you to the logs or audit directories. The third allows you to download Gatekeeper if it is required on a workstation. It is advisable to limit access to this server to Administrators.

Other applications:

You can add other servers in a similar manner, to allow you to view logs from other applications.

Adding a Logfile server:

1. In GateKeeper add a WWW proxy on a suitable port (see appendices ).

2. Choose the Non-Proxy request tab

3. Select the ‘Server request’ option

4. Click the Web Server settings button

5. For 'Server root directory' enter the directory that WinGate is in

6. For 'Default filename' enter 'index.html'

7. Select 'Enable directory browsing'

8. Click OK, OK.

Then you should write a suitable HTML page using the index.html file from the WinGate directory as a guide. You can use these servers for serving anything including your Intranet/Internet pages.
