missing data after redirect

@laraigniter,

Have you checked all CI 2.x configurations?  Have you done a search to see if there are any hard coded http?  What pages or sections are having https issues? Have you checked the views and controllers for hard coded http settings?

hi,
do you mean every page of the site? because now I'm testing the login part, there aren't http links, but on the article listing part there can be some because users-added links come from DB, and they used full url-s to link to own articles.. I'm on the way fixing that. 
It can be a problem during auth cont. -> admin cont. redirection?

In config, I set https base_url, cookie to secure. I store sessions in DB.

I'm curious if maybe the redirect method can be a problem, in CI 3 docs I see a spec. param for setting https. Somehow the session variables are missing. 

When I dump the all_userdata on my MAMP local system, after redirection to admin page, I see all the DX_ auth related variables like DX_logged_in = true , etc.

Dumping on live site, I get only the public part of the session, not the extra..
