Backend Token Plugin

This system plugin protects your /administrator/ folder for uninvited guests. It checks if a specific token is set in the http request. If the token in the reqeust matchs the token in the plugin parameters, the backend login is shown. Ohterwise a redirect to the frontend will happend. The redirect url can also be configured.

Example plugin setup 1:
token: 1234

http://www.mysite.com/administrator/index.php --> redirect to http://www.mysite.com
http://www.mysite.com/administrator/index.php?token=1212 --> redirect to http://www.mysite.com
http://www.mysite.com/administrator/index.php?token=1234 --> show admin login

exapmle plugin setup 2:
token: 1234
url: http://www.google.com

http://www.mysite.com/administrator/index.php --> redirect to http://www.google.com
http://www.mysite.com/administrator/index.php?token=1212 --> redirect to http://www.google.com
http://www.mysite.com/administrator/index.php?token=1234 --> show admin form

Diffrence to kSecure and jSecure:

1. non commercial
2. no registration needed to download
3. no entries in php session needed
4. login post request is also inspected !

I used another extension for this job, but sometimes it gave me some lags. So I decided to give backend token, a go.Wow! This extension is great and easy to use. Just follow the examples above. It couldn't be more easy and simple!

Thanks to the author of the plugin. But you are lacking in the very brief description of the plug-in is usually always write tips on how to use and is very comfortable.

This is a really nice plugin and does the job perfectly. On the joomla extention page are the 2 seperate downloads. 1 is for Joomla 1.5 the other is for joomla 1.6 Don't just click the download button as it downloads the 1.6 version :) After I go the right one installed it setup perfectly and works great.

I have login alerts that email me whenever someone tryies to login the backend. I was getting a ton of failed logins over the past week so someone is trying to hack my site. Now all they will be doing is enjoying a lil Rick Astly and his ever popular Rick Roll.

Enjoy.

First I was a bit confused because I didn't find anything to configure.. then I recognized having installed the version for 1.6 on 1.5.
But after installing the correct version everything is easy and works pretty good.
Exactly the thing for which I was looking for.

I use Logon Alert so I was alerted about several attempts to access my backend.
With your plug-in this should be prevented.
Many thanks for making it and for being free.

This is the easiest Joomla extension I've ever used. Just install it, fill in token and enable it, then the administrator path hid.
The support is quick. I had a problem with resetting the token code. I wrote to the Office Site to ask the solution in the morning. Then I got reply in the afternoon and solved my problem.

Cool plugin, still just a little note for the author, you should tell that you need to edit the config file of the plugin (since you dont have any options on the backend of joomla to edit).

I's a simple plugin but I think I messed-up somehow and I got locked out of my own site please help.

is there any support?

I installed the plugin and when I wen to the plugin manager and enabled it I couldn't see where to set the token.

so when I loged out and tried to get back to the administrator login, I have been locked out, it keeps taking me to the front page of my site.
