Create an adminhtml public page

Question

I wish to create a simple adminhtml public page and not a private page.

www.website.com/admin/users/form

How can I realize that ?

Answer 1

Authentication is handled by Mage_Adminhtml_Controller_Action::preDispatch() function. If you don't call parent::preDispatch() you should be able enable access without authentication.

But is that really a good idea? Make sure you aren't exposing major security holes here.

Answer 2

Ideally, forms in the admin shouldn't be public since it uses authentication to prevent unauthorised access. Ideally, you want to create a module that extends the customer account section. This may help - How to add custom tab to My account(frontend) .

• phpschool: Thanks for your help but your answer does not help me. My page must be public because I wish to create a login form for my users roles only.
