Wow, not very funny ;)
Isn't it possible to put it outside the admin folder? And then to configure the real adminfolder in ezbounce-configuration and to use that path to process? |
It is just a link to the Admin CP. Period.
It doesn't give anyone without a password access to your ACP. Installing this mod doesn't make your forum any less secure than a standard vBulletin installation. |
As far as I know, it is a good idea to rename admincp, because this is one step more in security. And with that, the path shouldn't be visible to anyone. Or it isn't necessary to rename admincp ;)

I agree with baxter. Though, those admins that have changed the location of their adminCP for security reasons, should realize that there is a small chance that people may find out where it is by looking at email headers. I do not think there is a major risk in this. It is always possible to password protect the adminCP directory from the server side.

Renaming your admincp folder doesn't suddenly make your vBulletin installation secure. All it really does is add an extra complication to forum upgrades and add-on or style installations.
Real security starts with server configuration and password security. |
Has anyone tested this with 3.8 yet? If so is it working? I'd hate to lose this after upgrading.
|
Still working on mine

There are plenty of vbulletin sites running with the admincp located in the default forum/admincp/ location, and are just as secure. Regardless of the admincp directory's being re-named, it still boils down to the fact that they can not access it without knowing your password. Therefore this mod does not make your site any less secure than it would be without installing it.

Installed!

I'm using this in vB 3.82 it did work the first time around with a test user, then I started getting a blank white page so I uninstalled and reinstalled it.
Now I get a database error Code:
