Hello Nicholas,
My site Joomla6 with admintools, 4SEF, Gantry5 have an issue with BaForms (Balbooa)
BaForms owner tells me it’s linked to a unwanted redirection of
https://www.mywebsite.com/index.php?option=com_baforms&task=form.getFormsLanguage
which is redirected to https://www.mywebsite.com/index.php?3de69ea13a27d1ead96ff5d7b47efae3
Then I asked to 4SEF owner who told me that 4SEF makes no redirections.
I also checked Joomla redirection (no redirections in it) and admintools url redirections : no redirections.
I checked logs : nothing.
Nothing in waf blocked request log too.
Then I find an old post of an issue linking admintools to "option=com_baforms&task=form.getFormsLanguage":
https://www.akeeba.com/support/admin-tools/33159:admin-tools-blocking-balbooa-form-submissions.html
I tried the solution, but now CSRFShield ils obsolete.
Then I tried to set to NO all Request filtering items, but my Baforms issue still remain, of course I cleared the cache of the baforms page before trials.
Do you think this unwanted redirection on the request of a joomla component can be linked to an admintools feature ? Which one ?
Thank you for help,
Hugues

You have already ruled out Admin Tools' URL Redirections feature which is the only thing that could do that (with quite a bit of effort), so my answer is no.
The ticket you read about CSRFShield wouldn't cause a redirect either. It would block the form with a 403 and log a blocked request. That's not your experience at all. It's definitely not related.
You can of course disable Admin Tools' system plugin to see if it helps, but I don't think it will make a difference.

Thank you Nicholas,
In fact I also disabled admintools, and you'r right, it makes no difference.
Best regards, Hugues
