How to Force a Dedicated SSL Cert on WordPress Network Login
Hello,
I was wondering if I purchase a dedicated SSL from InMotion how I would then force SSL admin login on my WP-Network install?
I already have the Dedicated IP address from InMotion.
I started to try to use the shared SSL as outlined here: http://forum.inmotionhosting.com/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=37742
...but that seems like way to much hassle to get this to work. I'd rather not resort to hacks and WP plugins to get SSL to function.
So with a dedicated SSL would it be as simple as adding the following line to the wp-config.php file, once the SSL is installed on the domain?
define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);
(http://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Over_SSL)
WordPress also mentionsa virtual host requirement and I'm not really sure where that comes into play.
Lastly, will the dedicated SSL work with mapped domains on my WP Network? I currently use subdomains with a domain mapping plugin, however sites on my WP network use the sudomain structrue for accessing their WP Admin.
For example:
clientsite1.mywpnetwork.com = Site on my WP Network as a subdomian
clientsite1.com is mapped, via a domian mapping plugin, to clientsite1.mywpnetwork.com
The WP Admin login URL displayed for clientsite1 is clientsite1.mywpnetwork.com/wp-admin/.../
Thanks!
