How do I secure the Admin Panel?


Guest

Recommended Posts

First, I just want to thank everyone who has posted to these forums. The information I have gleaned just by reading the posts has been incredibly helpful to a newbie!

 

My concern regards making the Admin Panel secure. At the present time, anyone can gain access to it with the correct URL. How do I prevent this from happening? I cannot go live with my shop until it is resolved. HELP!

 

Thanks,

There are a couple ways you can do this:

 

1. Setup password protection for the admin directory through your hosts control panel.

2. Create an .htaccess file (search the forums as this question is asked almost daily).

3. There a couple contributions that will also do it.

A mere 7 posts down from yours is a topic already started about securing admin -- suggest you check it.

Thank you both! Just read through that post and found a Contrib that really helped. Guess there are too many things on my mind!

 

Thanks again,
