One step towards making your shop more secure is to change the default admin route from http://www.your-shop.com/admin to something more secure and less guessable. The route must be changed in app/etc/local.xml.
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
<admin> <routers> <adminhtml> <args> <frontName>your-new-backend-route</frontName> </args> </adminhtml> </routers> </admin> |
After adding that to your app/etc/local.xml file, clear the cache and check if your admin is now available at http://www.your-shop.com/your-new-backend-route instead of http://www.your-shop.com/admin.
