How can I change OC-ADMIN url for security reasons?
Want to change my oc-admin URL for security reasons, please, how can I do that?

It should work ok, if you simply rename folder name, but there are references to "oc-admin" i.e. in hDefines.php to backoffice URL:
function osc_admin_base_url($with_index = false) {
  $path  = osc_base_url() . 'oc-admin/';

  // add the index.php if it's true
  if($with_index) {
    $path .= 'index.php';
  }

  return osc_apply_filter('admin_base_url', $path, $with_index);
}

It would be nice feature in future, but keep in mind that changing oc-admin may lead to problems with plugins... problems that they refer to oc-admin in their configuration pages.

Thank you very much for your reply. However, I'm not sure where to put the code:

function osc_admin_base_url($with_index = false) {
  $path  = osc_base_url() . 'oc-admin/';

  // add the index.php if it's true
  if($with_index) {
    $path .= 'index.php';
  }

  return osc_apply_filter('admin_base_url', $path, $with_index);
}

Will be implemented in easier way in 4.5

Well this was talked so many times in the old forums of Osclass org.

Security by obscurity.

Useless. Totally useless.

There is no protection by renaming or hiding any admin login. There are so many other areas you can he hacked. I bet the most of the webmasters do not even use SSL with their pop3/smtp email.
