The iTSec plugin Secure Socket Layer(SSL) settings is nothing more than a safety precaution.
Should you ever forget to access your env (either frontend or backend) using SSL, with these settings enabled, an automatic redirect from a non SSL (http) to an SSL (https) URL takes place.
Basically it ensures your website is always accessed over a secure connection.
Example. You have enabled the Force SSL for Dashboard setting.
From now on when you accidentally try to access the WP Dashboard using a non SSL (http) URL you will automatically be redirected to a SSL (https) URL.
So trying to access the following non SSL URL:
http://www.domain.com/wp-admin
gets auto redirected to:
https://www.domain.com/wp-admin

Thanks for your response. I just added a redirect to my .htaccess. Now when I type any of my urls with http, it redirects to https.
I found this redirect code on the ithemes website. just add 2 lines of code, that was it 😉
you can find it here:

As always there are multiple possible solutions.
It seems your question is answered now so please mark this topic as ‘resolved’.

I tend to think a support topic is not resolved until a plugin author replied. But oh well..
@helloeng
I tend to think a support topic is resolved when a solution is provided or the question is properly answered (and not necessarily by the plugin author).
We all have our own view upon the world 😉

@dwinden. We sure do. Mine is definitely a ‘special’ world view 😉
Anywhoo, my site works, so all is good.
