DOMOS5 WebUI
The DOMOS5 WebUI allows you to configure all necessary settings of your appliance and execute system maintenance tasks.
Login
To login to the DOMOS5 WebUI, open https://192.168.2.1:10000
in your web browser (default). The default username is admin and the password is admin. It is recommended to change the password after first log in.
Type | Detail |
---|---|
Default URL | https://192.168.2.1:10000 |
Default Login | admin |
Default Password | admin |
Configure your workstation to IP 192.168.2.1
(for example) with netmask 255.255.255.0
to be able to connect to the DOMOS5 WebUI.
Default Password Warning
When logging into the DOMOS WebUI, you will be informed when default passwords are in enforced. We highly recommend you to change your passwords to more secure passphrases, as default passwords can impend a severe security risk to your system and network.
General Information
In the upper right corner you are able to see who is currently logged in via WebUI. To log out hit Logout.
After changing any configuration, click the Save button which is displayed everywhere you are allowed to make changes. To apply your changes hit Activate Settings. This may take a while. Restarting services return success or failure messages. If you have changed the IP of the appliance you will not receive any response, because your browser will wait for the WebUI to return from the old IP. You will have to log in again on the appliance by directing your browser to the new IP.
Overview
After logging in using the WebUI you will see the overview screen. This screen provides information about hostname, uptime, average CPU load, system time, DOMOS version and software as you can see in the following figure.
Network
By clicking on ”Network” in the menu on the left side an overview of the network configuration appears. This overview shows a basic summary of the network settings of your appliance, namely the network ports with their configuration such as IP and netmask, DHCP and an indicator if the interface is up or down.
Interfaces
This screen shows nearly the same information as the network overview, but here you are able to edit your configuration by selecting Edit of the interface.
Modifying Network Configuration
By selecting Edit in the interfaces overview you are lead to the configuration menu of a specific interface. At first basic information about the interface is given: The name. By activating DHCP the interface obtains its IP from a DHCP-Server. Otherwise configure the IP and the netmask manually. If you want to set the Maximum Transfer Unit (MTU) just edit the field beside MTU. The default setting is 1500.
Virtual Interfaces
It is possible to define Virtual Interfaces in addition to the normal network interfaces. This offers more flexibility in the configuration of your network. To add a virtual interface, open the “Interfaces” overview. Click on Add new virtual interface. You will be offered a configuration dialogue. Please fill in an Interface Name, a Sub ID to identify the virtual interface as well as an IP Address and a Netmask. If you wish to bring up the virtual interface at boot, please check the Activate on boot checkbox. Once you filled in these fields, click Save to complete the configuration. As soon as you have successfully added the desired virtual interfaces, click Activate Settings to finalize the configuration and apply the settings. Should you like to edit an existing virtual interface, click the Edit button in the “Interfaces” overview. Here you can adjust IP Address, Netmask and whether the interface is to be brought up at boot time. To delete a virtual interface, click the Del button. Once you have made changes to the interfaces, please click Activate Settings to apply the changes.
VLAN (IEEE 802.1Q)
DOMOS provides the option to add VLAN interfaces to your network. To add a new VLAN interface, click Add new VLAN. You will be presented with a dialogue in which you will be requested to specify which device the VLAN is to be attached to, what VLAN ID the interface is to be configured to, the IP Address, Netmask and MTU. To have the VLAN device brought up at boot, please check the Activate on boot checkbox. Once completed, click save to complete the configuration of the VLAN. Should you like to edit the configuration of an existing VLAN interface, click the Edit button in the “Interfaces” overview. To delete a VLAN interface, click the Del button. Once you have made changes to the interfaces, please click Activate Settings to apply the changes.
Your network may need configuration to incorporate VLAN traffic.
Bonding
DOMOS allows you to bond interfaces using the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). This means that you can bind two interfaces together to operate as one. To add a new bond click on Add new bonding interface. You will be prompted to enter a Name
- which will later be used to refer to this interface. The Bonding Mode
defines the strategy used to run the bond.
Here you can choose between one of the following:
balance-rr
- Round-robin policy: Transmit packets in sequential order from the first available slave through the last. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance.
active-backup
- Active-backup policy: Only one slave in the bond is active. A different slave becomes active if, and only if, the active slave fails. This mode provides fault tolerance.
balance-xor
- XOR policy: Transmit based on the selected transmit hash policy. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance. broadcast Broadcast policy: transmits everything on all slave interfaces. This mode provides fault tolerance.
802.3ad IEEE
- 802.3ad Dynamic link aggregation. Creates aggregation groups that share the same speed and duplex settings. Utilizes all slaves in the active aggregator according to the 802.3ad specification.
balance-tlb
- Adaptive transmit load balancing: channel bonding that does not require any special switch support. The outgoing traffic is distributed according to the current load (computed relative to the speed) on each slave. Incoming traffic is received by the current slave. If the receiving slave fails, another slave takes over the MAC address of the failed receiving slave.
balance-alb
- Adaptive load balancing: includes balance-tlb plus receive load balancing (rlb) for IPV4 traffic and does not require any special switch support. The receive load balancing is achieved by ARP negotiation.
Furthermore you will have to specify a value for MiiMon.
miimon
- specifies the MII link monitoring frequency in milliseconds. This determines how often the link state of each slave is inspected for link failures. A value of zero disables MII link monitoring. A value of 100 is a good starting point. The default value is 0.
Finally, you will have to select the interfaces you wish to bond. Clicking on Save will conclude the configuration. Click on Activate Settings to apply the changes.
Routing
In the routing screen you can change your default gateway and static routes for IPv4 and IPv6. All routing is disabled by default.
Default Gateway
In order to configure a default gateway enter the IP of your gateway.
Enable routing
To enable or disable routing press the Toggle button next to the option Enable routing.
Autoconfiguration (IPv6)
By default Autoconfiguration is disabled. If this is enabled and your network supports it, your network will provide a configuration for the routing which will be automatically applied.
Static Routes
To add a static route click Add new static route. If you like to Edit or Delete a static route click the according button next to the static route.
Hosts
Here you can define custom hostnames. This is especially useful, if you like to address hosts not covered by DNS. The overview titled “Host addresses” will display all locally defined hostnames. You can Edit existing hostnames or click Del to remove them one by one. By clicking Add a new host address you can add new hostnames. You will be requested to fill in the IP address, an FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) and an Aliases. Clicking on Save will add the new hostname. To apply the changes, please click Activate Settings.
DNS
Here you can configure the hostname of your appliance and the DNS server(s) that will be used. You have to configure at least one working DNS server to allow the appliance to resolve domain names to IP addresses. Add a “Search Domain” to automatically append it to hostnames that are not addressed by its FQDN, which would otherwise fail to resolve.
Ping
You can use Ping to verify that a host is reachable. To do so, please enter the IPv4, IPv6 address or hostname of the target you like to verify the connection to. Optionally you can enter the amount of Ping packets you like to send. The default for this value is 10 packets. To start the ping command, click the Ping button.
The response will take a moment. Your browser will automatically refresh to update the displayed results. In our sample output we have sent four ping packets to a host.
Traceroute
Traceroute is a networking diagnosis tool used to show the route taken by packets across an Internet Protocol (IP) network. To initiate a traceroute, open the Traceroute dialogue, enter a target IPv4, IPv6 address or hostname of a target into the Destination field. If you want, you can adjust the Maximum TTL to a desired value. Clicking Traceroute will initiate the traceroute The response will take a moment. Your browser will automatically refresh to update the displayed results.
Date and Time
Time
This menu section displays information about the system timezone, time and date. If you have specified NTP servers, the button Synchronize now will trigger an NTP time synchronisation.
You can only synchronize the time if NTP is enabled
Timezone
Select your timezone here. To apply the changes in the timezone, you will have to click on Save followed by Activate Settings to apply the changes.
Changes to the timezone will also affect the current set time.
Clock
Set the time and date on your appliance. Clicking Save will instantly apply the changes. You do not need to click Activate Settings to apply this change.
NTP Client
If you want to synchronize the time and date via Network Time Protocol (NTP) you can select your NTP Servers here. By default, NTP is deactivated. For simplicity, the default time server pool pool.ntp.org
is included in the list of time servers. To edit your list of prefered timeservers click Edit timeserver list to add or remove an entry from the list. On the edit page you can select a timeserver to delete it or add a new timeserver by inserting its hostname into the textbox.
User
This screen shows the current user who is logged-in on the WebUI.
System User
Here you can change the passwords for the root
and admin
users. You will be prompted to enter the current password and the required new password.
SSH Keys
You can enable ssh key authentication for the admin user. These can allow a more secure authentication against the SSH deamon. By clicking on Add new SSH key, you will be prompted to provide a name for the SSH key and to specify the path to the according public SSH key file by clicking on Browse. Upload the key by clicking save. To enable SSH keys, check the “enable SSH key authentification for user admin” checkbox and Save the configuration. Clicking on Activate Settings the configuration will be applied.
It is unwise to use SSH keys without a passphrase. If somebody achieves to obtain a copy of the keyfile, he/she will have access to all accounts that grant access to that key. Please avoid exposure of the private key.
WebUI User
Change the password of the user admin who has access to the appliance via WebUI. Please note that changing this password will not change the password of the user admin on the serial or SSH console. This password has to be changed separately.
SNMP WebUI
The SNMP WebUI allows you to configure the SNMP settings on your appliance. Clicking on the SNMP menu shows the status of the SNMP daemon.
General
On the General page you can enable the SNMP daemon in the SNMP service section. You can decide if you want to activate the version 1/2c and/or version 3 features of SNMP.
In the Common section a location description and a contact can be configured. The last section allows to change the network protocol (tcp or udp) and to bind the SNMP server on an arbitrary network interface. The default is to listen on any interface using the UDP protocol on port 161. The port number is fixed.
Communities
The “Communities” page allows the user to configure SNMP v1/v2c communities. This page has a table of defined SNMP communities, a link to add new SNMP communities and links to edit or delete SNMP communities. SNMP community name and access mode can be specified on this page.
Users
The SNMPv3 users on DOMOS are limitated to readonly. Also accessing has to happen using authentication and encryption. Therefore the “Users” page allows you to create SNMPv3 users in one manner. To create a new user click on the Add new SNMPv3 user button and fill in the user data in to the formular. After saving the data using the Save button the new created user will be displayed in the SNMP v3 Users table.
Please note that SNMPv3 supports only SHA1-96.

BackupClient
The DOMOS backup client, available for Windows and Linux, enables easy pulling of a backup from the DOMOS system and writing of a restore to the DOMOS system. The backup client must be started on an external system and automatically connects to the DOMOS system. The backupclient program is designed to use in batch scripting or running by a backup system automatically.
The backupclient connects to a service on the DOMOS system. This service is only available if a corresponding client job is configured. The used default port is 9877
, but this can be changed in the DOMOS WebUI.
The overview page shows if the Backup service is running.
Server
This page shows the current server configuration. It is important, that the right hostname is used. The hostname is automatically imported from the network settings, so that manual entry is normally not necessary.
Next you can limit the interfaces on which the server is listening. Per default it is listening on all interfaces.
The last option on this page is the port number. Default is port 9877 (TCP)
.
Please have in mind, that after changing the hostname/IP or the port number all clientconfiguration files must be downloaded again. Otherwise it will not be possible to access the backup server.
Jobs
Before a connect is possible via the backup client, a job must be configured first. This configuration job should be created for each individual backup client, even if they all work with the same data. Each client has its own login credentials inside the configuration file. If each client has its own configuration, then it is easy to revoke the access of a particular client by removing its configuration job.
The jobs table lists all configured client jobs:
Name
- name of a job.
Type
- type of backup.
Client configuration
- Button to download the client configuration.
Del
- Delete this job entry.
Edit
- Edit this job entry.
The client configuration contains automatically generated login credentials (per client) and the server connection details. The information about the data to backup/restore are just stored on DOMOS itself.
To add a new job, please click on the button below the table.
Adding a new Job
The form shows the following fields:
Name
name of a job.
Description
desciption of the job.
Type
type of backup (e.g. DOMOS configuration backup).
Click on the Save button to create the new job.
Restore
To prevent unwanted restores from the backup client, the restore process is initially deactivated. The current status of the restore status is shown on this page. Changing the status can be done by clicking on the Toggle button.
After a restore or a system reboot the restore status is set to disabled.
Downloads
On this page you can download the backupclient (currently for MSWindows and Linux (64bit architecture)). Also a short documentation of using the backupclient can be found here.
Usage of backupclient
The backupclient application is a commandline tool, which can be used on all operating systems in the same way. After downloading the right version for the used OS and theconfiguration file the backup can be started with following command:
bakresclient -config PATH-TO-CONFIGFILE -bakdir BACKUP-DIRECTORY
Normally a logfile bakresngclient.log is created in the same directory. Please check it if backup process was finished successfully.
In the same manner you can perform a restore of your DOMOS System using the backupclient. Please note, that restore must be enabled in the WebUI first.
bakresclient -config PATH-TO-CONFIGFILE -resdir DIRECTORY-TO-RESTORE
The backupclient has some options to configure the backup or restore process. All options are starting with one single dash.
-config
- Path and name of job configuration, downloaded from DOMOS WebUI
-bakdir
- Path where the backup should be written. Will be created if needed.
-resdir
- Path of a backup directory, which should be restored. Restore must be enabled in the DOMOS WebUI.
-logfile
- Path and name of client logfile.
-loglevel
- Level from 0 (no logs) to 7 (all logs). Default is 4.
System

WebUI Certificate
During the initial boot sequence, a self-signed SSL certificate is generated. It will expire within 1 year. We recommend that you replace this certificate in a timely manner.
You can change the server certificate which is used to ensure that communication between the WebUI and the client browser is secure. Use this feature to deploy a custom SSL certificate. To change the SSL certificate in use, click on Change WebUI SSL Certificate to upload your own SSL certificate.
Change WebUI SSL Certificate
Here you can replace the SSL Certificate used in the DOMOS WebUI. You will be prompted to provide a private Certificate, a public Certificate Key as well as Certificate Chain file (optional).
The provided keys must be presented in the PEM format. To select each, click on the according Browse keys. Once you have selected the desired SSL certificate and key file, click on Upload. Click Activate Settings once you have uploaded the desired SSL certificate and key.
You can also create a certificate signing request (CSR) by clicking on Create WebUI SSL Certificate Request. The following details are required to fulfill such a request:
- Country Name - 2 letter code
- State or Province Name
- Locality Name - eg. city
- Organization Name - eg. company
- Organizational Unit Name - eg. section
- Common Name - server name
- E-Mail address
- Key length - 1024, 2048 or 4096 bit
After clicking Create, you can download it under the Last Created Certificate Request section by clicking on Certificate Request and Certificate Key.
Client SSL CACertificate
DOMOS offers the possibility to secure the WebUI by ensuring that the browser accessing the WebUI is allowed to do so. The browser will have to present a valid SSL client certificate to be granted access to the WebUI. To do this, you will have to add a CA-Certificate by clicking on New Client SSL CA-Certificate. Click on Browse to select the CA-Certificate file and Upload to have it sent to the server. Once the file is uploaded, the WebUI will inform you whether the upload was successful and presents you an acknowledgment.
Message: New CAcertificate uploaded
Message: Issuer: C=DE, ST=NRW, L=Dortmund, O=Secudos GmbH,
CN=Secudos Root CA, emailAddress=support@secudos.de
Message: Valid: Jan 5 03:44:54 2010 GMT to Jan 3 03:44:54 2020 GMT
Message: CACertificate accepted
To enforce client certificates, check the enable using client SSL certificates checkbox, click on save and finally Activate Settings to complete the configuration. Your browser will also need to be configured for this setup. You will need to import a valid client certificate. Please refer to the documentation of your browser to obtain instructions on how to import a certificate.
WebUI Configuration
This section is used for making adjustments to the WebUI.
Login Autocompletion
- This option lets you toggle the autocompletion for the DOMOS WebUI. This is useful if you work on multiple workstations and want to avoid accidentally loss of your login credentials.
Set button
- Decide whether you would like to save your configuration automatically or not
Session timeout
- Set a time value (in minutes) for the session timeout
WebUI Interface
- Set the network interface(s) on which the WebUI should be available
By clicking on Bind WebUI on Interface you can add a network interface to the list of interfaces on which the WebUI should be available. To delete an entry you can use the Delete button in the table next to the entry.
SSH Configuration
Here you can configure the SSH Server installed on DOMOS. By default SSH is enabled and is bound to all configured interfaces. You can limit SSH to listen on specific interfaces. This is achieved by clicking on Bind SSH on interface. Select the interface you wish to use and click Save. To remove an interface click the Delete button accordingly.
License
DOMOS uses licenses which are necessary for the operation and the update of the system. The overview will give you a brief overview of the currently installed license as well as the features it has. A license is comprised of the following data:
Name
- The full name of the entity the license was issued to.
UID
- A unique identifier for the license.
StartDate
- The date the license validity begins.
EndDate
- The date a license validity expires.
Features
- The features incorporated in the license.
To update your license, you can upload a new license file using the Import new license file selector. Once a valid file has been selected, click Upload to have the file uploaded to the appliance.
Shutdown
Shut down your appliance using the WebUI. Unsaved data will be lost. Never remove the power from your appliance before shutdown is complete.
Reboot
Reboot your appliance using the WebUI. Unsaved data will be lost.
Logs
DOMOS includes a log viewer to inspect the system log files directly from the WebUI. You can download the log files by selecting the Download button or click on the Show button to view a specific log. While viewing a log file you can let the WebUI automatically reload the contents of the log file, allowing a continuous view of the log output.
Remote
Logs of the services can be sent to an external syslog server. The configuration dialog contains the following items:
Remote logging
- enables the logging to an external server
IP address
- IP address of syslog server
Port
- port on external server (default is 514)
User TCP
- use TCP protocol instead of UDP. This allows a reliable logging to the external server. The syslog server has to support this protocol,too.
Retry Count (TCP)
- set count of tries to send a log to the external server if TCP is in use. The default value of -1 means infinite retries.
DOMOS Console
There are two ways to connect to the DOMOS Console: Using SSH or a serial console. The default passwords are the following:
Description | Username | Password |
---|---|---|
Super-User | root | secudos |
Normal User | admin | admin |
Please note that a direct login as root user is not possible.
SSH login
For logging into the DOMOS system via SSH you need an SSH client on your workstation. For Windows users we recommend using PuTTY. Most Linux or other Unix-like systems have an SSH client installed by default. If you did not change the IP of the appliance you will be able to connect using the IP 192.168.2.1
.
For example on Linux:
ssh admin@192.168.2.1
Using the default configuration it is not possible to use the root account directly. To get root access you have to connect to the appliance as user admin first and obtain super user rights by using the command su -
. To change the password of the user admin or root use the WebUI or change them directly by using the commandline tool passwd.
Serial console
For logging into the DOMOS system via the serial console you need a terminal program on your workstation. For Windows users we recommend hyperterminal and for Linux minicom. Configure your terminal programm to use the following settings:
Speed | 115200bps |
---|---|
Parity | None |
Data | 8 |
Stopbits | 1 |
These settings are often predefined as 115200, 8N1
.
