 I try everything but when I open this page on my site —> http://tcri.qc.ca/publications/archives
I always get the Security Window User/password window to access Joomla Administration (htaccess—htpassw).

Seem to work without the window in Safari 6.1.3 ????


The problem come obviously from a needed major add-on I used t for this web site.

http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/search-a-indexing/site-search/12819

The 401 Autorization Required errors in Firebug Net.

/administrator/components/com_dmhelper/js/chosen.js
/administrator/components/com_dmhelper/js/jquery.dm.js
/administrator/components/com_dmhelper/css/chosen.css



I try to Put the exception in the htaccess (Admin Htaccess)
For the files and the entire folder

##### Advanced server protection rules exceptions -- BEGIN
RewriteRule ^administrator\/components\/com_dmhelper\/js\/chosen\.js$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^administrator\/components\/com_dmhelper\/js\/jquery\.dm\.js$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^administrator\/components\/com_dmhelper\/css\/chosen\.css$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^administrator\/components\/com_akeeba\/restore\.php$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^administrator\/components\/com_admintools\/restore\.php$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^administrator\/components\/com_joomlaupdate\/restore\.php$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^administrator\/components\/com_dmhelper/ - [L]
RewriteRule ^templates\/myowntemplate here/ - [L]
##### Advanced server protection rules exceptions -- END


I try to put the htaccess and I even put the complete component in the waf exception

I try to to put
• Block tmpl=foo system template switch, Block template=foo site template switch to no
• and Allow Site Templates to yes

I clear all caches a millions time (administration/site/browsers..)

Each reload bring the window…

With the htaccess and all that no exceptions in the logs ???? (I never get kicked out by Akeeba Admin)

Thanks in advance for your support.

Sorry for the multiple posts
Stupid lag with satellite internet make me post multiple time

You have your /administrator folder protected with a user and password. That is happening at the Apache level, Joomla! and Admin Tools never even see it. That is why there isn't anything in your log file.

There is no work around for the problem. You need to contact the other component's author and advise them that they are calling back end programs from the front end. That's a no no.

The only thing you can do while you are waiting on a fix is to disable the password on the /administrator folder.
