Admin SSL incompatibility with 2.6?

    I just updated to WP 2.6 and cannot log into admin with Admin SSL enabled. I see an odd redirect generated at the login screen. I just updated to Admin SSL 1.1. Also, at the moment the author’s website isn’t working, but I will check back later to see if there’s a fix yet. I understand that SSL support was reworked in 2.6 so I’m not surprised that this is occurring.
    cheers,

    Diana,

    If you are not using a shared SSL setup, then it might be easier for you to just disable the Admin SSL plugin and use the directions at Ryan Boren’s blog.

    Make a backup copy of your wp-config.php (backups are your friend). Now go to http://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/ and insert that output in your wp-config.php above the line that says “stop editing”.

    Right below that, add 

    define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);
define('FORCE_SSL_LOGIN', true);

    And give it a shot. If all goes well, you’ll login via SSL and the admin pages will be mostly SSL based.

    If not, put back that copy of wp-config.php and you should be fine.

    awesome, thanks, it’s working.

    We have our own (unshared) SSL certificate, do you know if we still need to use WP’s secure key?

    The secret key stuff is for the built in password and cookie encryption, it does not directly affect the SSL encryption.

    So basically, yes, you should do that.
