XF 1.1 Forcing SSL for admin area?

[euantor]

Is it possible to force HTTPS for connections to the ACP? I'm just setting up my first XF install on my VPS and have installed a new SSL certificate for my domain to use for the ACP. I could always manually add https:// but I'll likely forget. Having the ACP link always default to HTTPS would save me time

Already seen that thread, seems to be more of a discussion about who's using SSL, rather than describing or offering any hint about how to enforce it for parts of the site such as ACP/UCP (edit password, email etc).

EDIT:

Nevermind. Ended up just doing it via my virtualhost in nginx anyway.
