It appears, that the “admin” issue is also SSL related.

In admin.php:8 bb_auth is called with implied, default scheme “auth”.

However, later on in functions.bb-pluggable.php:145, the following code is encountered:

if ( is_ssl() ) {

$scheme = ‘secure_auth’;

} else {

$scheme = ‘auth’;

}

Which, given that is_ssl() returns true, will make the validation fail and user bounced out of admin page.

For now, I replaced ‘secure_auth’ with ‘auth’ in ssl branch as well, which appears to be a reasonable hack for me.
