Today I present an interesting plugin that will serve to increase the security of your Joomla: jSecure Authentication. It 's a handy plugin, simple, both native and non-commercial version 1.0 is for 1.5. This is a plugin system that prevents access to the login page for the backend of a site in joomla (what we commonly call the url http://.../administrator).
window.google_render_ad ();
To do this, just set up a simple string of alphanumeric characters that take you to the login page and this will be included in the url string, we now come.Per install such a site in Joomla 1.5 you must access the back-end- -> go to "Extensions" -> go to "Install / Uninstall" -> click "Browse" -> load the file you downloaded -> click "Upload File & Install".
Once installed you need to go to change the parameters: go to "Extensions" -> choose "Manage plugins" -> choose "System - jSecure Authentication" -> go to "Parameters" tab. As we can see in the figure are three parameters: Key
;
Redirect Options;
Custom Path; Under Key must set the string to add to our url to have access to the login page. By default the key is jSecure and strongly suggest that this string is cambiarla.Supponiamo mysecureaccess.Allora to login should say: http://.../administrator/?mysecureaccess. The other two parameters are used instead for the redict If a person enter the classical string sbagliata.Se http://.../administrator or click on "Redict to index page" the user is redirected to the homepage of sito.Se we want to be redirected to another page, simply select "Custom Path" Custom Path and write the url of the default pagina.Per I redirect to error page 404 (which can also be customized ). Suppose you have created an error page that we call loginerrato.html and put it inside a folder Call File.
Then just add the name of this file with the path (File / loginerrato.html) Custom Path.Dopo just click on the "you" to "Enabled" in the "Details" tab. While we're changing the name the plugin, for example, instead of "System - jSecure Authentication" we "MyPersonalAuthentication." Now you are ready to hide access to the admin panel of our sito.Se some hacker decided to try typing the url or other classical url for access will be redirected to the page you've created, as we see in the second figura.Questo is one of the many tricks we can use to avoid unwanted intrusions to our site administrator Meanwhile I recommend you also read other articles on security in the Articles section community, such as = = hate " Joomla is a CMS safe?
