ProtectedAdmin Pimcore Plugin
=============================

[](#protectedadmin-pimcore-plugin)

Developer info: [Pimcore at basilicom](http://basilicom.de/en/pimcore)

Synopsis
--------

[](#synopsis)

This Pimcore  plugin requires http basic authentication prior to granting admin access. Username and password can be set via Website Settings.

Code Example / Method of Operation
----------------------------------

[](#code-example--method-of-operation)

After installing the plugin there are new website settings available (under Settings > Website): **protectedAdminUser**, **protectedAdminPassword**. Set them accordingly.

Motivation
----------

[](#motivation)

Even though Pimcore comes with great security it still makes sense to prevent access to admin through the main domain, especially to any bots, script kiddies, etc.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Add "basilicom-pimcore/protected-admin" as a requirement to the composer.json in the toplevel directory of your Pimcore installation. Then enable and install the plugin in Pimcore Extension Manager (under Extras > Extensions)

Example:

```
{
    "require": {
        "basilicom-pimcore-plugin/protected-admin": ">=1.0.0"
    }
}

```

Troubleshooting
---------------

[](#troubleshooting)

In case you lose access to the admin area due to misconfiguration you have two options:

- disable plugin by editing /website/var/config/extensions.xml (change the value to 0 or delete the whole line)
- remove the Website Settings by deleting the corresponding keys (protectedAdmin\*)
