CMSDesk security after deployment
Hello

After deploying my site according to the manual, I saw that I still can log in to CMSDesk,

In order to prevent security issues with someone that might break my username and password - Is there way to block it ?

I saw answer from 2009 on similar question, does something changed ?

RE:CMSDesk security after deployment
Hi,

You can use the recommendation mentioned in the forum.

However, there is also a special web.config parameter which can be used to disable the administration interface:

<add key="CMSDisableAdministrationInterface" value="true"/>

If you use this property in appSettings of your web.config file, the 'Access denied' screen will be displayed on each attempt to access CMS Desk or Site Manager.


Best regards,
Michal Legen
