Best way to turn off the back office on a given server?

Hi,

if we want to turn off the back office on the live server, what is a robust way to do this? Or can the default umbraco directory simply be renamed so it is not so obvious. May not want to repoint it just yet as other packages may reply on it,

Thanks a lot!

Hi Damon,

You could use a rewrite rule, based on this http://tcmorris.net/blog/custom-domain-for-umbraco/ article this rule should work,

 <rewrite>
        <rules>
            <!-- Restrict access to Umbraco -->
            <rule name="Restrict access" stopProcessing="true">
                <match url="umbraco(?!/Surface/)(?!/Api/)(?!/api/)(?!/webservices/)" />
                <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny" trackAllCaptures="false">
                    <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="(([^.]+)\.)?admin.example\.com" negate="true" />
                </conditions>
                <action type="Redirect" url="/not-found/" appendQueryString="false" />
            </rule>
        </rules>
    </rewrite>
