Hi

I enabled first Password-protect Administrator and it was ok.
Then I enable administrator URL via WAF.
Logged out and tried to log in again first using the administrator URL and then i entered the administrator password-protect but it wouldn't continue to administrator login page.
Should this settings work together or I should disable one of them.

Thanks!

They should work together.

Please try the url in the format:

www.mysite.com/administrator/index.php?secret

Some servers require the index.php to be explicitly stated. Some browsers modify the url if it is not explicitly stated.

Ok, I think I figured out what could have been the problem. Now is working. One of the passwords had all kind of characters, not just digits and letters, i think this could have caused the issue. I read somwhere about this recomendation in the documentation, but I can't find the url to the doc now.
