admincp: Extra Security (htaccess) · **Released**: 01-04-2010

First of all: this isn?t my mod. I?have this one on my forums now for 4 or 5 years and was looking around here at vb.org for it but it seems it?s gone (or may be it never was released here). Yet, I haven?t found it so I tested this in vb4 and it works. Guess it?s quite useful for some of you so I share this with you.

This mod adds some extra security to your admincp. And your admincp only. The modcp remains untouched, so mods can access the modcp without a secondary login.

Files to edit: 1
Install time: 1 minute

Open admincp/index.php on your server.

Above:

PHP Code:


			// ######################## SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################

add this:

PHP Code:


			$index['public'] = $index['public'];
$phpkd['username'] = "Username";    // Here Is the User Name
$phpkd['password'] = "Password";    // Here Is The htaccess Password

if(!$index['public']){
if($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] != $phpkd['username'] || $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'] != $phpkd['password']){
Header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"Security Check\"");
Header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");echo "<head><title>Unauthorized Login attempt</title></head><body bgcolor='#FFFFFF'><center><br>
<a href=\"../index.php\" style=\"text-decoration: none\" target=\"_self\">
<font face=\"MS Sans Serif\" color=\"#000000\" size=\"4\"><b><br>Unauthorized Login</b></a></body></html>";exit;}}

Change "Username" and "Password" to whatever you want, save and upload the file to your admincp (overwrite the old index.php or rename it first to index.php.old) and you?re done. Fast and simple.

If the original author is still around hit me back so you can release this one under your name.

Weird but funny...

I?ve found the original mod in the "Similiar Mod" section at the moment my post was published. It?s in the graveyard, huh? Guess thats the reason I hadn?t found it through the search engine before? So, all credits to SolidSnake@GTI. His original mod can be found here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=105179 .

This mod can?t handle mutiple logins with different logins/passwords so you are forced to share this login with your mods.

Well this is not true .htaccess because it's being used in the php file. If you want multiple logins look at http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/htaccess3.shtml that should give you a idea for security. There even scripts that can make the login and password on the fly and add it in the .htaccess file.

True. Therefor I said this Mod can?t handle mutliple logins

There is no special code for the modcp. You only have to put the code into root/modcp/index.php and you?re done.
