Setting login details for Admin area

I guess I have missed something...

 

When I visit the admin at .../catalog/admin/ I do not need to enter login details,

meaning everybody could look into my Admin.

 

Where can I set a username and password to login to my Admin and activate

these login details...?

 

I can not find it in my OSCommerce documentation or anywhere on this forum

or website.

Your host should have a control panel that allows you to do this. Look for something like "Password Protect Directories."

 

Are you saying that there is no built in login screen for admin with osCommerce and that it solely relies on server side protects?

Are you saying you haven't searched to see if that is the answer?

OSCommerce has no authentication system in place for the login. You may protect the directory via HTTP authentication, or you may use one of the many contributions that allow for various levels of protection and access.

I tried searching, however the search feature for this forum isn't really that robust.

 

Why does it not have an authentication system? Server side passwords are okay for keeping out newbies, however they are definately not a high grade security scheme and leave security problems for admin to deal with. I know of no other software, that is as sensitive as an online store, that relies on server side password protection.
