Introduction This guide explains how to properly secure Directadmin phpMyAdmin in your Novacloud instance, covering access control, authentication, IP restrictions, and integration with DirectAdmin’s SSO session. In a standard DirectAdmin environment, phpMyAdmin is accessible via https://domain.com/phpmyadmin or https://domain.com/pma. While this makes database management easy for users, it also poses a major security risk if left
Introduction This guide explains how to enable and configure Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) in DirectAdmin (Evolution Skin) for Admin. Enabling 2FA is a critical step in reducing account takeover risks, especially in legacy environments where users may still rely solely on username and password login. Legacy systems lacking additional authentication mechanisms are increasingly vulnerable to
