How do I log into my Wordpress installation using SSL (https)

Best Answer not yet chosen
The thing is that I want to access my Wordpress administrative section using https (SSL). Obviously I must use http://securexx.inmotionhosting.com/̃myusername/wp/wp-login.php but once I type my username and password it redirects me to www..com where SSL access is not possible anymore.
Any ideas how to fix the problem? Do I need to use Apache's rewrite module capabilities?

Hi jcborras,

I actually dealt with this issue not too long ago in our Forums. Please take a look at this post:

WordPress Admin Page & Shared SSL

Let me know if that does not help, I'm more than happy to assist further.

Thanks,
- Brad

Almost!

After adding the if..else construct I see that the CSS file is loaded in the login page.

The if..else lines I added are:

Code:if( $_SERVER['HTTPS'] || substr_count($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'],"wp-admin") > 0 || substr_count($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'],"wp-login.php") > 0)
{
// if we need to force SSL
define('WP_HOME','https://securexx.inmotionhosting.com/~thisisme/my-wp-install');
define('WP_SITEURL','https://securexx.inmotionhosting.com/~thisisme/my-wp-install');
}
else
{
// if we don't need to force SSL
define('WP_HOME','http://mydomain.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://mydomain.com');
}

But after typing in my username and password I get the following url in the address bar:

Code:https://securexx.inmotionhosting.com/~thisisme/my-wp-install/wp-login.php?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fsecurexx.inmotionhosting.com%2F~thisisme5%2Fmy-wp-install%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1
