Shouldn't an apache directive like

RewriteRule /manage/ https://www.website.com/$1 [P] or RewriteRule /manage/ http://www.website.com:443/$1 [P]

be enough to redirect all login-attempts to the ssl-enabled virtual server?

(of course there are other moments, where ssl would be desired, but for the beginning I would be happy, if this would work)

You'd want to make it more general. Afterall, I can get to the ZMI from any method/manage... Zac me = { 'name' : 'Zachery Bir', 'email' : 'zbir@urbanape.com', 'voice' : '(804) 353-3742', 'url' : 'http://www.urbanape.com/' }
