hello ;

I want to change the name of the login.aspx page and make eg login784578.aspx without touching the contents of the page, the goal is to have a difficult to know the login page (a form of security).
how plz ?

You can create a special page named anything you like, and drop the login module on it.

Also create a page named Login, and put nothing on it. In Site Settings, set this page as the Login page. That way, anyone going to login.aspx or using ?ctl=login will be redirected to the empty page.

For even more security, there are alternative authentication providers available. If you google around you will find at least one multi-factor provider.

thank you mr. Craig for the answer .
have a nice day!!

Hello Mr Craig,

I tried what you proposed, that works well, excepted for redirecting ?ctl=login to Login.aspx page
In Site Settings, I can't set Login page as the "login page" (probably because it does not contain any login module).
Is there anyway to do this please ?

Thanks,
DV FX

Gee, I thought that the ctl=login was redirected if you changed the login page.

Which DNN are you using? DNN 7.3.2 has some fixes for the registration spam issue. DNN 7.3.4 will, I understand, have more including reCaptcha.

Dear Joseph,

I am using latest DNN 7.3.2, but the problem is not the redirection right now.
It's that you can't choose an empty page as the "login page" in Admin Settings. Try in your portal, go to ADMIN SETTINGS and try to include any page as Login... Does not work, you need a valid login module on it to be able to choose that page as login page.

Right now, the problem is with people who are doing brute force on website, and trying to login...
