After taking out my IP off the whitelist to test if Admin Pro ask me for the Backend Password I cannot see the site or go in the administration—

I remove the htpaasword and htaccess from the Administration and I check my root joomla htaccess for any funny entry — Nothing...

First time trying this,,, need help.......

Ok, I did a booboo...
Probably by Getting out of the whitelist

I can see in the database
`jos_admintools_ipautoban`

My IP and the reason —> ipwl

I’m no more in jos_admintools_adminiplist either

Yep! I should read a little more before doing thing

If I understand well...
You NEED to be in the whithelist to have access to the site administration...

I was thinking (like RSFirewall) That the whitelist is only to not having to enter the firewall identifiant.

By disabling me to the white list and trying to access the administration more than the AutoBan (in the configuration) permit I become a Bad guy....

To get out of my mess..

1— Go inside the plugins/system/admintools directory on your site. You will see a file named main.php.Rename it to main-disable.php. This will turn disable the Web Application Firewall from executing and youcan access your site's back-end again. After you have fixed the cause of your issue remember to rename main-disable.php back to main.php, otherwise your site will remain unprotected!

2— Go in the administration and put me back in the whitelist

3— Take me out of in the administration of automatic ip ban

4- Rename to main.php

I just receive my message that I was ban (in french) wher a slightly different way is mention in the message (how toughtfull)
Thanks Akeeba....

S'il s'agit de votre propre adresse IP, utilisez un client FTP pour renommer le fichier 'plugins/admintools/pro.php' ou 'plugins/admintools/admintools/pro.php' (selon votre version de Joomla) en pro.php.bak. Connectez-vous ensuite à l'administration du site et, dans le firewall d'Admin Tools, cliquez sur le bouton d'administration des blocages d'adresses IP pour supprimer le bannissement automatique de votre IP. Nettoyer tous les logs de banissement contenant votre adresse IP pour qu'elle ne soit plus bloquée. Renommez ensuite le fichier 'pro.php.bak' en 'pro.php' et testez à nouveau votre accès au site.

The only thing I can see in there that I dont like it’s that you have no message that the Administration access is already protect
— The only thing you got it’s the identifiant form without any message saying “Already Protected” Small thing!

Thanks Nicholas
I will read it carefully
As a long time user of another well known Firewall I can say that I’m sold.

Now all my site will have Admin Pro.
The highligt (to Me) are:
• Ability to update Joomla easily
• The extend of security you can acheive
• And all the smart tools around

Two thing I didn’t see
1— The ability to block the Joomla intall/uninstall administration panel

2— The ability to block any modification of the super-admin or admin users information

Bravo Akeeba, You bring Joomla to another level...

Excellent

I guess, if you put your backend Admin Tools password, the Installation and User modification become available again?

Chac,

No the do not become available again. They will only become available again once you physically make them available.

Cool
