Currently, if you enter https://fqdn.of.your.pbx/ you will automatically be sent to the login of the admin console. If you want the user login you have to enter https://fqdn.of.your.pbx/webclient
This is often a reason for trouble since people forget the correct link, oder make a typo. Or they even only enter the fqdn. Then they dont read, and then they do not understand why they cannot login (even might blacklist theirselves).
Is it possible to revert this so that the default login is the webclient, and to reach the admin console one has to enter a path after the fqdn?
An admin should be able to correctly do this, users not. They should have only to remember the fqdn.

Isn't that what Bookmark/Favourites are for?
 
Sure, a bookmarks helps. But things go wrong, and if you use the bookmark you tend to forget the complete url. Also greeting mails go into the trash. Maybe you remember the fqdn.
This is not a big problem of course, but it would make usability better if only the fqdn is needed.

Which is exactly what happens with (most) telephone numbers nowadays. People don't remember the number any longer, just where to look it up. 3CX probably feels that it is best, at the moment, if you aren't required to add an extension to the FQDN, to go to the login page. It would probably be more secure to require something (/admin, /webclient), after the FQDN, for all access.
