# [Plugin: Sidebar Login] Login not working for HTTPS

 * I use latest version of WordPress 3.2.1 and the Sidebar Login Plugin 2.3.3. The
   Sidebar Login plugin is working fine when using HTTP, but as soon as we modify
   our wp-config.php with FORCE_SSL_ADMIN = true, to login with HTTPS the plugin
   is not working anymore. It seems to loop forever somehow.
    Same issue occurs 
   with an another plugin called Login With Ajax for example. Logging in using Sidebar
   Login from my WordPress frontpage already in a HTTPS session is also working 
   fine. It is mainly an issue going from HTTP to HTTPS from the widget area. Does
   someone have an idea or have the same problem solved?

 * Hello – I can confirm I am seeing the same behaviour with WP 3.2.1
 * As a further test I disabled FORCE_SSL_ADMIN = true and instead enabled SSL on
   the admin pages via the WordPress HTTPS v2.0 plugin. Same behaviour occurs.
 * Login via the standard wp-login.php works just fine, as does Sidebar login when
   SSL is disabled

 * Bummer! Sidebar Login also does not work with Chap Secure Login plugin, too bad,
   it’s an awesome plugin.
 * I’ll always land on the side of security when it’s security vs. convenience, 
   though.
