Hello Support Team,
I'm writing you to have more information about a strange behaviour of Admin Tools Pro.
I setup AT with wizard at the beginning. The only other change I made has been to add a security tag to access to admin page (back-end).
The problem is that, sometimes, often to be honest, I receive the email about 'Security Exception' on my website, including MY IP address, that one I use to login to the web site. I receive the error "Admin Query String".
Why?
Obviously I access to admin panel using the right link, otherwise I can't. So, why I receive the security exception?
I'm the only one using this pc, the only one knowing admin link and credentials and this exceptions happen when I'm logged into the website, so it is a bug... I think.
Let me know... thanks!

Salve Francesco,

questo a volte capita perché i browser (o le loro estensioni) cercano di creare un'anteprima della pagina ma nel farlo non mandano tutti i parametri, da qui l'eccezione di sicurezza.

Quindi questo deve considerarasi un 'comportamento normale' ?
Non vorrei preoccuparmi. Soprattutto non vorrei rimanere chiuso fuori, avendo impostato l'auto BAN di un IP dopo 10 volte consecutive in 1 giorno. Al momento la cosa si verifica 1 volta/all'ora più o meno, quindi riesco a stare sotto questo limite. Non esistono workaround/fix che posso applicare ad Admin Tool o al mio browser per evitare questa cosa?
Grazie!

Si esatto, non c'è da preoccuparsi.
Di solito la cosa migliore è quella di utilizzare la funzionalità "Protect your backend with an extra password", in quanto l'autenticazione viene gestita direttamente dal server e non da Joomla, per cui vengono impiegate molto meno risorse.
