Hi Nicholas and team,

I do have a problem on several of my websites. When I work as superuser on my website Admin Tools reports several incidents as security exceptions which should not be recorderded as exceptions. Even Admintools is recorder as a security problem.

I am often blocked and know how to unblock myself, but it is a little annoying.
I even tried to add my IP-address to the Whitelist, which did not help either. I was still blocked.

I checked whatever I could think of in my Admin Tools configuration and .htaccess file but do not have any clue, what is wrong with my configuration.

These are some of the recorded security exceptions according to Admin Tools:

administrator/index.php?option=com_content
administrator/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&layout=edit&id=14
administrator/index.php?option=com_admintools&view=waf
administrator/index.php?option=com_installer&view=update
administrator/index.php?option=com_users

I would be very glad if you could give me a hint what I'am missing or where I could be wrong in my configuration.

You are waiting for a long time between actions and Joomla! logs you out. As a result, Admin Tools' administrator secret URL parameter protection is triggered. You can increase the session time in your site's Global Configuration.

Thank you Nicholas!
An easy solution. I have quite a short session time and will increase it.
