setting umbracoUseSSL to true causes infinite redirect loop
I have just moved my Umbraco site from a Testing server to a Live server. The Live server has a Self-Assert SSL in place, which worked fine on the testing server but now, when I set the umbracoUseSSL = True in the webconfig I get an infinite redirect. The umbraco cms login function uses a function which checks the request issecureconnection and redirects to https if it isn’t, so I assume the connection isn’t secure even when it redirects to https. Is there any other code that also redirects it back to http? thus causing it to infinite redirect or am I missing something in IIS or the webconfig? Thanks for your time, Jon

Jonathan,
Make sure IIS7 is correctly configured. Once you've added the secure cert and binding it should work if umbracoUseSSL is set to true.
I had a similar problem when I configured SSL on the umbraco directory in IIS7 - it's not needed.
Check your IIS config.
