This will create extra protection for the admin scripts. Besides, it will be also helpful if the login can have captcha function to add further protection. This will stop someone writing a script to guess the admin password. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/securing-directory#post-15092 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 02:18:16 +0000 Lil 15092@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I have one, Thank You </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/securing-directory#post-14803 Sat, 19 May 2012 05:13:23 +0000 AMurray 14803@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Add to Yuniar's reply, if you need it to be secure, would also suggest you purchase an SSL certificate (your host can arrange that), so your URL will begin with the <strong><a href="https://" rel="nofollow">https://</a></strong> 128/256 bit encryption (depending on which type of security certificate you purchase for your domain), </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/securing-directory#post-14798 Fri, 18 May 2012 22:03:34 +0000 yuniar 14798@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>If you are trying to protect machform folder using htaccess protection, this will affect all your forms as well. I suggest to simply use a very strong password for your MachForm. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/securing-directory#post-14788 Fri, 18 May 2012 07:50:41 +0000 Lil 14788@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Thank You for your reply Saghalie :) what I mean is sometimes host companies allow you to add some extra security to your website by allowing you to password protect your directory, for example if the admin directory for a website was</p> <p><a href="http://www.example.com/admin" rel="nofollow">www.example.com/admin</a> the administratior would go and manage the website through there but to make it harder for the ip would allow you to add extra security</p> <p>the only problem is when I do that for my machform directory</p> <p><a href="http://www.example.com/machform-admin" rel="nofollow">www.example.com/machform-admin</a> it affects the forms and all the forms requrie a password lol</p> <p>I was wondering if there were to be a more specific directory to (extra) password protect my administration for machform</p> <p>Thank You for your help </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/securing-directory#post-13762 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 09:59:00 +0000 Saghalie 13762@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>hmmm, need a little more info. What exactly did you secure and with what commands? Are you using LINUX or windows or some other OS?</p> <p>AFAIK - your ./Data dir should be set to writable by the webserver.</p> <p>Regards,</p> <p>Saghalie<br /> <a href="http://www.kcmhosting.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.kcmhosting.com</a> </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/securing-directory#post-13758 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 04:19:15 +0000 Lil 13758@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hello,<br /> I tried to secure my admin directory, but it affects all the forms, is there anyway I can get around that?</p> <p>Thank You </p>
