Dear Support Team,
after changing http to https my backend wont work anymore.
Its because of the admin-tools .htaccess creator for admin-folder.

When deleting the .htaccess/.htpasswd the backend is working, but when want to create a new one it wont load.

I did this many times with many websites but I dont know where the problem could be.
Could you give me a hint?
Would be great.
Thanks a lot.

I believe that you need to ask your host. The only thing Admin Tools does is apply password protection which has nothing to do with HTTPS. The only thing that would have any effect is if your host reconfigured Apache when you enabled HTTPS and in the process disabled user authentication through .htaccess. However, that's something only your host would possibly know and be in a position to fix.
