 I have noticed that if I go to my admin area url but do not fill in the username and password but leave the form empty on the screen that eventually I get a security exception email from admintools with reason Admin Query String and quoting my own IP address. After about 15 minutes I get another and so on. Is this to be expected?

Thanks

Hello Dennis,

if you setup a secret param for your backend, yes, it is expected.
The quick fix is to manually disable Admin Tools and then change (or disable) the secret param inside WAF configuration page.
