Hi,

I installed Admin Tools pro on two sites with Chronoforms (one site version 4 and the other version 5). In Admin Tools i enabled password-protect Administrator. Now on the page whith the ChronoForms form, the Authentication popup appears. On one site I did disable password protect to get rid of this issue on the other site https://tuffelkeerlkes.nl I stil use this protection and here you can check the popup.

How can I configure password protect and still use Chronoforms?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards, Benny.

Found a solution. Placed a .htaccess file in the com_chronoforms directory under administrator with the following content:

Satisfy Any
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all

This is the correct way to allow a sub-directory of a server-level password protected directory to be accessed without a password.

I would like to note that ever since Joomla! 1.5.0, released ten years ago in January 2007, using an /administrator URL for any kind of static media content (Javascript, CSS, images, ...) is obsolete and discouraged. The /media directory on your site has assumed this role. Using software which has not figured out how to catch up with a ten year old best practice recommendation is ill-advised at best. It tells me, as a developer, that its developer doesn't really care to follow Joomla standards and raises questions about which other standards he bends. Is he using any of the security features in Joomla or is he also side-stepping them? I would contact that developer and ask them to fix this issue. In case he denies I'd go with another component altogether.
