Today we released a new version of our system plugin NinjaSecurity. It is a bug fix and improvement release. Under certain circumstances the Backend User Groups were wrongly blocked from writing articles and then banned, respectively locked out from the admin panel. They are now excluded from pattern matching by default.
I also added Frontend User Group Control, so the site admin now can decide which of the Frontend User Groups are supposed to be trustworthy members and can exclude them from pattern matching.
Second new feature is a Component Control for also excluding them from pattern matching. This can be useful when you run a component such as JComment or JoomComment, where non-registered users are allowed to post data. This can also be useful, when you publish articles regarding security relevant topics and want the user give the ability to search specific articles via the search component "com_search".
And last but not least I added the secure login mechanism, inspired by the
"jSecure Authentication" system plugin.
