 I am using p8pbridge for phpBB3 (http://alterbrains.com/joomla-extensions/communication/p8pbb-bridge) (it integrates /syncs user accounts between joomla and phpBB3)

Some users who login to the joomla site to access a registered only forum get sent to our joomla login form as expected.

However when they login they get a 403 error and the firewall reports DFI exception.

I checked the actual component option output when browsing the phpBB3 forum, which outputs the bridge component name 'com_p8pbb'.
So I added it to the component exceptions with All set for view and query fields.

However it still seems to trigger the DFI. If i turn the DFI off then login works OK.

Can i turn off DFI in favour of some specific htaccess rules or is there another idea to get around the DFI trigger?
