What do I need to change in order to force ALL of my admin pages to show securely in SSL?

Can anyone help?

And yes I changed the admin folder name and it does work. (Just some info

)

i'm not sure about doing it retrospectively, but it is an option during the initial setup of your store.
hopefully someone else here knows how, i suspect it is just a switch in one of the configure files.

One more note I did check the option(s) for SSL in my store setup. But unless I enter into my admin by e.g https://site.com/shopping/admin it will not stay in ssl mode some pages display in non-ssl mode and some do.

Let me know what you think and how to fix this.

That means you've likely edited the file incorrectly, perhaps deleting quotes or brackets or semicolons.

There were no brackets or quotes just added them to show the code, but I did figure it out and it helps if I would have read some of the stuff in the configure.php file, here is what I found:

* If you desire your *entire* admin to be SSL-protected, make sure you use a "https:" URL for all 4 of the following:
*/
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://STORE_NAME.com/store');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://STORE_NAME.com/store');
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://STORE_NAME.com/store');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://STORE_NAME.com/store');

You have to change ALL of them to point to you SSL Site for it to work.

So far so good, we'll see how it goes.

Thanks.
