Rewrite /Umbraco admin path MVC/Angular

I need to change the admin panel url from www.site.com/umbraco/ to www.site.com/mysecretpath/

tried the following:

 <add key="umbracoReservedPaths" value="~/umbraco,~/mysecretpath,~/install/" />
 <add key="umbracoPath" value="~/umbraco" />

UrlRewriting.config

<add  name="adminrewrite"
         virtualUrl="^/mysecretpath"
            rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString"
         destinationUrl="/umbraco"
         ignoreCase="true" />

This works except that www.site.com/umbraco still works. Tried adding a rule below but that ended up blocking the admin panel....

 <add stopProcessing="true" name="adminrewrite"
         virtualUrl="^/mysecretpath"
            rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString"
         destinationUrl="/umbraco"
         ignoreCase="true" />

    <add name="blockUmbraco"
      virtualUrl="^/umbraco"
        redirect="Application" 
            rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString"
         destinationUrl="/"
         ignoreCase="true" />

Any advice on resolving this? The related forum posts are all mostly pre angular. Note: I don't think we want to change our Umbraco folder as we are using Umbraco as a service and they maintain our updates. I also can't lock down via IP as we have people accessing from dynamic addresses.

Hi Mac

Using a rewrite rule is the base way, 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>

Hope this helps,

/Dennis

This looks like you are using IIS UrlRewriter and not the UrlRewriting.config file. I will give this a shot. Thanks for the link Dennis.

Hi. This would work for domain lockdown if you were limiting traffic to the admin.example.com website but I was actually asking about rewriting traffic to a custom value. This doesn't really solve my problem as I don't want to limit via IP or manage user access that way.

I got this far with it but couldn't resolve the users error that pop on the tasks for displaying the tree. It was close.
```
<rule name="Restrict access" stopProcessing="true">
    <match url="65467846843/(.*)?" />
    <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny" trackAllCaptures="false">
      <add input="{UNENCODED_URL}" pattern="65467846843(.*)" />
    </conditions>
    <action type="Rewrite" url="/umbraco{C:1}" appendQueryString="true" />
  </rule>
```
I see that we can lock out accounts after a certain number of access attempts and that should suffice for now. Thanks for the suggestion regardless. We might go to it at some point.
