 * I have forced login over shared SSL when trying to access members area (currently
   called ‘test’), but goes back to login screen not the redirect page. I assume
   this because cookies are not being set for the http domain. Any thoughts please?

 * Guess that your setup sets a cookie for https, but it catches itself in a loop
   since that cookie won’t work for http. Why don’t you throw it all into the https
   ring? After all, you have SSL in place – use it by simply setting it up in the
   configuration. (and probalby a small 301 in the htaccess to make it seamless).

 * Not sure my host would appreciate everything going through the shared https. 
   I did think that the plugin should handle this with too much tweaking.

 * I’m working on getting the plugin to redirect admin requests through the Shared
   SSL when `FORCE_SSL_ADMIN` or `FORCE_SSL_LOGIN` is being used. It is the last
   feature I need to add before I push out the next version, so I should have it
   done shortly.

 * FORCE_SSL_ (set in the config) is working ok in itself, but the redirect to http
   is not setting the necessary cookies.

 * Hey Losgaz,
 * I’m currently working on the next version which should correctly set cookies 
   and get Shared SSL working with the admin panel. For now, I would comment out
   the FORCE_SSL_ lines from your wp-config.php until I’ve completed it. I’ll post
   here as soon as it’s done.
 * Thanks,
    Mike
