<p>Once a user logs in they are redirected back to the page they logged in from, rather than the admin panel (this is configurable).</p>

<h4>Notes</h4>
<ul>
<li>Due to AJAX not working across different domains (see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same_origin_policy" rel="nofollow ugc">same_origin_policy</a>), AJAX logins will be disabled if your site it non-SSL, but the FORCE_SSL_ADMIN constant is set to true. Instead it will fallback to a traditional POST.</li>
