System - Block Access

Introduction

Backend & Full Access Control, Access & Security, Accessibility

This plugin disables the access to specified parts of the Joomla installation, if a configured security key is not provided. Just append the security key as parameter to the URL (e. g. https://myjoomla.tld/?thisIsMySpecialSecurityKey or https://myjoomla.tld/?key1=value1&key2=value2&thisIsMySpecialSecurityKey) to be able to enter the secured website part.

When the configured website part (possible: site, administrator, both) is requested and no security key is provided, the user gets redirected to a configured address (internal or external).

The key must be provided once per session, so if the users closes the browser window or he logs out or the server (e. g. Joomla software) terminates the session, you must re-provide the key once.

Dieses Plugin verhindert den Zugriff auf konfigurierte Teile der Joomla-Installation, wenn ein festgelegter Sicherheitsschlüssel beim Aufruf nicht mit übergeben wird. Hierzu muss lediglich der Sicherheitsschlüssel an die URL angehängt werden(z. B. https://meinjoomla.tld/?dasIstMeinSpeziellerSicherheitsschluessel or https://meinjoomla.tld/?option1=wert1&option2=wert2&dasIstMeinSpeziellerSicherheitsschluessel), um die Website aufrufen zu können.

Wenn der Benutzer den konfigurierten Website-Teil (Frontend, Backend, beides) aufruft ohne den korrekten Sicherheitsschlüssel zu übergeben, wird er an eine konfigurierte Adresse (intern oder extern) weitergeleitet oder erhält eine konfiguierbare Fehlermeldung.

Der Schlüssel muss einmal pro Session angegeben werden, das heißt bis zum Abmelden oder bis zum Schließen des Browserfensters oder bis die Session serverseitig (bspw. durch Joomla) beendet wird.

Deze plugin blokeert de toegang tot specifieke onderdelen van een joomla gebaseerde website, indien de geconfigureerde geheime sleutel niet is opgegeven. Voeg eenvoudig de geheime sleutel toe aan de url (bijv https://myjoomla.tld/?thisIsMySpecialSecurityKey of https://myjoomla.tld/?key1=value1&key2=value2&thisIsMySpecialSecurityKey) om toegang te krijgen tot het afgeschermde gedeelde van de website.

Functionality

Works fine for me and offer some protection against for admin page access by unauthorized users.

Ease of use

Should be easy to configure, but I had to ask for help to developer on Github issues in order to configure properly.

Support

I suppose that developer don't have time to maintain, update and answer questions or add new features on Github.

Documentation

It's confuse and displays wrong information on plugin documentation.

I used this to: To protect my admin page from admin page access by unauthorized users.

Perfect for hiding your admin page in joomla 4

System - Disable Login

By alve89

Access & Security

This plugin prevents users to login in the frontend. It blocks access to direct system addresses like ?option=com_users and /component/users. It's good practice to use this in combination with disabling all login forms and modules, because with this plugin they are functionless anyway. You can login with these system addresses by providing a secret key in the URL. See documentation for more inform...
