Limiting access to back end administration

Hi,

As a security measure, I'd like to limit which IP's can access the back end ./administration area.

I come from a Wordpress background and in Wordpress there's a couple of ways to do this, but unsure about Dolphin.

Please advise if this can be done? Thanks.

Michael.

I think you can do it by placing .htaccess file into /administration/ folder with the following contents (replace IP with yours):

Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 123.123.123.1, 123.123.123.2

Thank you kindly, this worked and is exactly what I was after. No reason I can see that the entire internet should be able to gain access to the back end, even for brute force attacks.

This works fine.
