How to block Administrator page on Chameleon setup TLD's
How to block Administrator page on Chameleon setup TLD's
I see it is possible to log in the admin backend with any of the chameleon rules. So say I've got a rule extra.net which is a alias on mainsite.com I am also able to login at extra.net/administrator. This is correct and makes sense is how chameleon works with domain rule.
However, is there a way to block the /administrator paths on chameleon rules?
I'm getting hacking attempts on all my sub-sites now. Not only on the main site admin. That's why I want to close this for better security.
Any ideas how I could accomplish this?
Thanks.

Hi jhostweb,
although technically the plugin that drives Chameleon can detect requests for pages that start with /administrator, it was a design decision to NOT detect these. The reason for this is that it's far too easy to make actions in Chameleon which could prevent you from even logging in on the administrator side.
I would suggest the use of something like Admin Tools (from Akeeba) where you can protect /administrator by requiring a keyword to be added to the URL. Although that's not exactly what you wanted it achieves the same thing with a good deal of security.
Best regards,
Stephen

Hi Stephen,
Thanks for your quick response.
Yes I understand it would make it more secure and will try it out.
Perhaps a simple method would be to redirect specific admin urls that I don't want to work to a custom page or back to the domain root..
Thanks.
