Try using an ssh tunnel instead. Forward the remote port (2812) to some
local high range port. When you have the tunnel established, access the
Web-interface by pointing your browser to
http://localhost:<localport-of-sshtunnel>

So for example on a terminal you would establish the tunnel:

# ssh -N -L 8899:yourhost:2812 yourhost &

and then in your browser:

http://localhost:8899

It should then ask you for the login credentials.
