Core Configuration; Core Group Variables - Kannel WAP and SMS gateway User Manual

Core configuration
Configuration for Kannel MUST always include a group for general bearerbox configuration. This group
is named as 'core' in configuration file, and should be the first group in the configuration file.
As its simplest form, 'core' group looks like this:
group = core
admin-port = 13000
admin-password = f00bar
Naturally this is not sufficient for any real use, as you want to use Kannel as an SMS gateway, or WAP
gateway, or both. Thus, one or more of the optional configuration variables are used. In following list (as
in any other similar lists), all mandatory variables are marked with

Description
This is a mandatory variable
The port number in which the
bearerbox listens to HTTP
administration commands. It is
NOT the same as the HTTP port
of the local www server, just
invent any port, but it must be
over 1023 unless you are running
Kannel as a root process (not
recommended)
If set to true a SSL-enabled
administration HTTP server will
be used instead of the default
unsecure plain HTTP server. To
access the administration pacges
you will have to use a HTTP
client that is capable of talking to
such a server. Use the "https://"
scheme to access the secured
HTTP server. Defaults to "no".

Password to request Kannel
status. If not set, no password is
required, and if set, either this or
admin-password
