Hello,

I’m using Vaultwarden on a Nas with docker image.  
I have used DISABLE\_ADMIN\_TOKEN=true but the admin page is still accessible.

When I look on the console of the docker env are :

```auto
HOSTNAME=vaultwarden-server1                                                                                                                                               
DISABLE_ADMIN_TOKEN=true

Well, disable admin token means disable the need of the token.  
Set that value to false will make a token to be needed and would case you to need to input a token before you are allowed to enter the admin interface.

Hello,

thanks for this very quick answer.  
The strange thing is that even with this option password was needed.  
I remove it and set strong pass in admin console.

Does exists possibility to avoid access to it ?

thanks

I think you have a password configured via the reverse proxy.  
The admin interface can only be accessed by setting the ADMIN\_TOKEN with a random string, or by setting the previous setting you mentioned to true.

Having no ADMIN\_TOKEN set means it is disabled and not accessable.
