Automatically redirect to https://website.com/admin

my site works now. and i have the admin plugin working too. however, would i be correct in assuming a connection to:

http://mysite.com/admin

is not secure wrt the login credentials. enabled SSL so that i can use https, and it works, but i was wondering if there might be an automatic redirection to https for /admin

im doing this stuff in nginx, so there's probably a way to redirect using that (always a headache with nginx config). so before i hack it. i just check there's no grav way.

thanks.

You should force a redirect with your nginx configuration:

thanks. that's what i'll do. just wanted to check there was no built-in way.
