A third-party extenion jSecure Authentication allows you to add extra security layer to Joomla! administration area. You can download the plugin from http://www.joomlaserviceprovider.com/component/ambrasubs/file/view/5/7.html.
Once installed the plugin, follow the steps below:
From Joomla! administration panel, click Extensions | Plugin Manager. That shows Plugin Manager screen listing all installed plugins. From the list, click on System – jSecure Authentication link. That shows Plugin:[Edit] screen for the plugin.
Select Yes in Enabled field.
In Plugin Parameters section, type a secret key in Key field.
Check Redirect to index page in Redirect Options field.
Click Save button in the toolbar.
Now preview the site by clicking on Preview button. Type admin panel’s URL in the address bar. You will be redirected to home page of the site.
For accessing the administration panel, add the secret key at the end of the URL. For example, http://www.yourdomain.com/administrator/?secretkey.
Now you will be able to see the login box for administration area.

I am building a WordPress auto-installer for cPanel which installs a fresh version of WordPress. Once the installation has completed I provide links to the front-end and to the back-end (wp-admin).
I want it so that when they click the back-end URL it will automatically log them in as the admin user which was created during the installation.
How can I do this simply and securely?
I was wondering if using the following functions during installation could work.
wp_set_current_user(1, $this->input->admin_username);
wp_set_auth_cookie(1);
do_action('wp_login', $this->input->admin_username);
Then I could pass a cookie or authentication key to the WP Admin URL.
If not, what would be the best way to do this?
Recently I have enabled multi-site (networking) in my existing wordpress.
by following instruction from http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network with sub-domain option.
Now it won't allow me to login for other users(user's does not have sub domain site) the username and password is correct but it does not appear admin panel. Even if I type /wp-admin/ it leads me to login.
Please help !!!
NB: I enabled the multi site in an existing WordPress site with existing users. Before enabling I can login in correctly with that existing user. But now I cannot login when WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE variable is true. if it is false then I can login
I found that it was a plugin issue. i disabled all the plugins and set all from first. now it is working
When a student logs in Moodle, and clicks on a link (to an external site), I want him to login to that external site. How should I proceed with this. I have checked LTI compliance. But not sure, how it will work for another site. My code is based in PHP.
I am working on a Joomla 2.5 application connected to Moodle system via Joomdle plugin. Logging into Joomla via Moodle works fine, but not into administration control panel (ACP). I just can't login into the administration panel because Moodle credentials do not fit to Joomla credentials.
How is it possible to make Joomdle log user in also into ACP while logging into the application? (So he gets logged in to the frontend and backend in once). Not very safe, I know, but it's my clients request.
Is it possible to do this by editing the login script? Or is there some easier way?
Question answered on Joomla StackExchange:
https://joomla.stackexchange.com/questions/2507/joomdle-2-5-backend-login
It is necesary to write custom authentication plugin. It's pretty easy and with some modifications of ACP login page, the result is exact as I needed.
I've got a site running by Joomla. The /administrator/ path is restricted in robots.txt and the password is asked if i try to open backend at /administrator/
