Google for apache basic authentication. In short you need to create password file with htpasswd command for the admin user and protect the joomla admin file with that account.
Hi,
i have Joomla 2.5 installed on my apache server and when people type www.myserver.com/administrator/ they are redirected to my joomla administration login window.
Therefore they know it's a joomla installation and could try something to hack it.
i would like to avoid it and i've already seen that some people replace this login window by an apache authentification/autorization popup window.
once authentification performed, administrator is directly sent to standard control panel of Joomla (admin side).
How can i do that ?
where can i find some documentation or tutorials ?
thx.
