Active Admin login for admin users redirects back to the login page with correct credentials only in Chrome on localhost

Question

I am only having this problem locally in Chrome, not in production. It is also not a problem in Safari or Firefox. I am not sure what caused the problem as my only recent change

Answer 1

This ended up working, with a bunch of finagling:

https://github.com/codica2/rails-puma-ssl

I am now using something like this to launch rails on localhost: rails s -b 'ssl://localhost:3000?key=server.key&cert=server.crt'

In /etc/hosts, I had to change 127.0.0.1 localhost to 127.0.0.1 localhost.ssl

To see localhost, I have to add the "s" so, for example, Active Admin is here: https://localhost:3000/admin
