[ale] Accessing router admin page via https:

[Lightner, Jeff]

Can you run nmap against the router to verify it is actually listening on port 443 or see what ports it is listening on?

Some things use https:// but then expect you to put a different port behind the name or IP   it Might be something like https://<routername>:<portnumber> where portnumber is something other than 443.

One example of that I know of is Dell OpenManage  - you type https://hostname:1311 to get into it.

It might help if you tell folks what brand and model of router as that likely makes a difference.

Okay I really feel stupid asking this but I really need some help. I changed my router's admin access to use https instead of http. It worked once yesterday. Today I get the "unable to connect" error in FF. I have tried using http:, https: and just entering the IP with port 443 but no joy. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
