Abstract: In this study, a back-door type private network to web-server management is proposed. The proposed method shows excellent security performance among computers located in the same area. The features of the back-door type private network and the virtual host function of the http daemon were investigated for the proposed method. When an administrator in the same area manages a web-server by combining back-door type private network and virtual host function of http daemon, they can get excellent security performance without special security system. In addition, they can be provided with convenient web-based and Windows-based management environment. In order to verify the performance of proposed method an experimental test web-server with back-door type private network and http daemon were set. Then, the test web-document was installed after the public network and the private network were combined with corresponding web-documents. When an administrator belonging to the private network accesses the experimental web-server both public web-documents and secured web-documents are appeared normally. In contrast when a public user belonging to the public network accesses it, only public web-documents are shown and secured web-documents are unreachable. Consequently, the proposed method can manage the web-server in the web-based environment without any exposure to the public network. It also allows unsecured protocols to be used without installation of a secured protocol.
