WPMU SSL (3 posts)

    Greetings -

    I am having a hard time getting WPMU working with SSL. I want to have everything working with SSL not just admin and login. I have read all the postings I could find on the subject. The Admin-SSL plugin works fine for securing Admin and Login. But doesn't secure the rest of the site. I have tried Force-SSL and I can get it to work on everything, but IE6/IE7 users are consistently having to deal with "mixed content messages". I can get them to change their settings to accept mixed content. The last piece is I cannot post new comments...I get a blank page when wp-comments-post.php is called with SSL. This is true with any SSL rewrite rules in place (ie. Force-SSL plugin, rewrites in httpd.conf, .htaccess etc.) When I turn off the SSL rewrites, it works fine again. It looks like the comment variables are getting lost after the rewrite of http to https on the url. Any help would be appreciated.

    is the info on your site so sensitive that it needs to be encrypted? If so, it probably shouldn't be available on the internet. WordPress wasn't designed to be a secure data solution

    Its actually being used internally for local employees. Some might choose
    to allow external access, but initially all blogs will be secure. That said, just like any other app running under Apache, Wordpress should be easily able to run with SSL. Connecting with VPN or IPSEC gateways just doesn't cut it for security.
