===== Start LServerAdmin application =====

**lserver** virtual machine provides all local network services, e.g. **dns, dhcp, router-proxy** etc.. It also contains all **users and files** and provides **user authentication** on Linux and Windows.

**LServerAdmin** application is preinstalled in **lserver** virtual machine. It allows us to easily create **users** and configure all **services**.

We can run LServerAdmin application either **locally** on server PC, or from another PC on **local network**, or even **through Internet** from our home.

We will connect from a browser e.g. firefox. LServerAdmin is a console application and navigation on its menus is handled better from a keyboard than a mouse. 
==== Locally ====

We can connect from **server PC itself**, if keyboard, mouse and monitor are available.

From **server PC** via browser 
  * We connect with username **user** on LXDE graphical environment.
  * We start firefox
  * From Bookmarks we select address **http://loginserver** 
  * We type our username and password ((password asterisks will not be shown on screen))
  * We type **lserver-admin** and press ENTER. It will ask our password again

From **server PC** via terminal 
  * We connect with username **user** on LXDE graphical environment.
  * We click on **LServerAdmin icon** on desktop.

==== From another PC on local network ====

We can also connect from **any PC on local network**.

We connect to a PC with **our own account** or if we don't have one yet, we connect as user **teacher**

  * We open a browser and on address we type **http://loginserver** 
  * We type our username and password ((password asterisks will not be shown on screen))
  * We type **lserver-admin** and press ENTER. It will ask our password again

==== From Internet ====

We can also connect via Internet from anywhere. We should know the **internet address** of the server and the **external port** of **shellinabox**.

For example if server internet address is **myinternetaddress.com** and external port is **14200** we connect as follow
  * We open a browser and and on address we type **http://myinternetaddress.com:14200** 
  * We type our username and password ((password asterisks will not be shown on screen))
  * We type **lserver-admin** and press ENTER. It will ask our password again
