Chapter 4. WebYaST Configuration Modules

Table of Contents

This chapter describes all WebYaST configuration modules and their usage. The modules can be accessed from the configuration area of the WebYaST interface, see the section called “The Configuration Area”.

	Online Module Description
	The question mark icon in the header of every module provides relevant online documentation.

	Concurrent Use of Configuration Modules
	If a configuration module is used by two or more users at the same time, and one of the users changes and saves the configuration, a warning message is shown to other users and their configuration is updated.

Configuring Firewall

The Firewall WebYaST module allows you to configure firewall. The firewall can be turned on and off. Individual services can be blocked or allowed. To configure the firewall, follow these steps:

Log into the WebYaST interface of the target system and start the Firewall module.
Enable or disable the firewall using the Enabled or Disabled buttons in the header. The green highlighted button indicates the currrent status of the firewall.
The Allowed services and Blocked services groups show allowed and blocked services. Click any service to move it from one group to another.
If you want to read description of any service, stop the mouse pointer over it and wait for two seconds.

Click Save to apply changes.

	Blocking Required WebYaST Services
	If a required service (webyast and webyast-ui) is about to be blocked, a warning message is shown when saving the configuration. This is done to prevent the user from blocking the access to WebYaST itself.
