 * Hey all, I’ve scoured the Forums but can’t seem to find a direct answer to my
   particular question.
 * I am trying to use WordPress built in SSL security to enforce a secure back-end.
 * I am running WPMU with the latest stable 2.8.4 core.
 * I have used every combination possible with the following config commands:
 *  define(’FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, true);
    define(’FORCE_SSL_LOGIN’, true);
 * I do succeed in compelling an SSL session -but it compels for *all* requests 
   not just to the admin.
 * So, any call to the regular site, when not logged in, also forces the site to
   be rendered using https. I do not want this.
 * I *only* want the Admin secured.
 * Any help or links to something obvious that I missed would be greatly appreciated.
   Thank you!

 * Thank you. I realized my mistake after I hit the submit button.
 * I have updated and put this over at WordPress MU. I don’t know if there is a 
   way to remove here so as to not clog up the forum.
