Topic-icon If you use Admin Tools Please Read what I found out!

I was having issues with my login button not working, I was about to contact the dev's but I used my little coding knowledge to try and figure out what's happening

Inspecting the element using Google Chrome I saw an error 403 forbidden access.

Previous experience lead me to believe Admin Tools htaccess maker was blocking it as I had set every security option to the maximum

This code was being blocked

mysite.com/modules/mod_sclogin/ajax/otpcheck.php

If you use admin tools, go to the htaccess maker and add this line to the list of "Allow direct access to these files"

modules/mod_sclogin/ajax/otpcheck.php

Everything works then.

Cheers!

Special thanks to the devs for this wonderful extensions!

donomo,
Thanks for the feedback on that! We need to create more documentation about the 2 Factor Authentication support in the SCLogin module. The otpcheck.php file is something that's only used on Joomla 3.2.x *and* when OTP is enabled. That's probably not a huge amount of sites yet, but we're excited for it to grow even more.

As for the problem you found, that's a legit check that they're performing, and you've implemented the correct work around. Admin Tools (and some other security tools) won't let 'unknown' PHP files run. Whitelisting it like you did is the way around it.. and that file isn't malicious :)

I'm hoping you're enjoying the SCLogin module, and should you need anything else or have any suggestions for improvement, just let us know.

Finally, if you haven't already, please consider leaving a rating and review for SCLogin, or our support, on the Joomla Extension Directory. It certainly isn't required, but is very appreciated:
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/access-...authentication/24054

Thanks for the feedback, and good luck,
Alex
