 Hello,

I was just experiencing a flood of hacker attempts. About 165 IP's were auto-blacklisted, so awesome job Admin Tools. I was enabling a few more features in the WAF to tighten up security, one was the secret key for the Administrator panel.

It seems that that feature does not work well with SSL enabled. It would not let me login with SSL enabled. I had to to turn off SSSL via FTP on the configuration.php to get backend access again.

Is there something that needs to be configured for Admin Tools to work with SSL?

Thank you,
John

John,

Some servers require index.php to be called explicitly, for example:

https://www.mysite.com/administrator/index.php?SecretKey

Do you get to the login screen? Are you getting any kind of an error message?

I've tried logging in with the index.php and without. It does show the login screen, no error shows, it just loops back and clears the user & password fields.

If you are getting to the login screen then the secret parameter is working. I can't explain why you can't log in.

On the login screen, are you still on an https: address or did it switch to http:?

If you used .htaccess Maker, is the https: URL correct? (all the way at the bottom of the screen)

It was a setting on my end, all is well :)

I'm glad you got it working.
