Description of my issue:

Hallo all,
In Joomla I have Virtuemart installed and one very important component - B2B script which pull all items from my supplier to my virtuemart. When I install Admin Tools Pro on joomla, my script can not work and can not take items from my supplier.
When I uninstall ADT Pro, work again. I then Install Secure Live and he also block this by default, but I can see what is blocking.

___________________________
Why Blocked: (1) Unauthorized Administrator Attempt #88020000

Attack Used: /administrator/index.php?option=com_b2bimport&controller=import&task=process&cid[]=1450

Referrer: http://www.****.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_b2bimport&controller=import&task=prefetch&cid[]=1450
______________________________

I like better Admin Tools than Secure Live, but how to make that Admin Tools not block my script. This script is essential to my web shop.
Thank You in advance,

Ivan

Hello Ivan,

Install Admin Tools Professional and go to Web Application Firewall, Configure WAF. Make sure the "Log security exceptions" option is set to Yes. If not, set it and click on Save. Now try to access the blocked page. It should be blocked. Go immediately back to Admin Tools, Web Application Firewall, Security Exceptions Log. Take a look at the items at the top of the list. What does the "Reason" column read?

IMPORTANT!!!! This workaround applies ONLY to front-end pages. Back-end pages ARE NOT protected by Admin Tools Professional. The URL you pasted above is an administrator URL, accessible only to logged in back-end users (Managers, Administrators, Super Administrators) and not protected by Admin Tools.
