force_ssl doesn't seem to work

I have followed the guide to set up piwik to force ssl upon login. I’ve updated my config.ini.php, added


[General]
force_ssl=1

My piwik is accessible on both http://piwik.website.com and https://piwik.website.com, but when I access the http version and see the login page, it doesn’t redirect to the SSL version.

Did I miss something?

Sorry I have updated the FAQ already but the feature is not yet released. Wait a few days for 1.7 :wink:

Aha!! I see. Can’t wait for 1.7 then :slight_smile: Thanks for clarifying the situation
