I've recently been trying to get Umbraco 4.7.1 up and running on Azure using the accelerator. Most things seem to be fine, but I ran into a pretty funky problem:
I have enabled SSL for the site, and I'd like to have it required for the back office for security reasons. Well, when I use the "umbracoRequireSSL" web config setting or use a rewrite rule to force the same thing, I can no longer publish changes to content. I found out this was related to SSL from another forum post here that I couldn't find again. Sure enough, when the SSL requirement was removed, the publish worked again, both from regular http and https URLs.
Anybody know what the heck is going on here? I'd really like to have the back office secured since it's piss poor security to be throwing passwords around without encryption. Unfortunately since we're on azure I don't have the option of requiring back office to be accessed internally only, etc.
