Hello,
I have working https protocol on my subdomain. I would like to change current url:
http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt.cgi
to
https://ssl.mydomain.com/
How can I do it? Could anybody help me step by step? I am beginner in this field. I tried Google and also Movable Type forum, but no answer so far. Maybe this could help you http://www.movabletype.org/documentation/appendices/config-directives/admincgipath.html. Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it.

The AdminCGIPath config directive is exactly what you need to apply.
Assuming that you have already set up SSL with your hosting provider and placed your MT application files in the correct web root for the SSL domain (which can be the same domain as your main site), here are the steps to change the MT admin path to use the SSL
Add the following line:
AdminCGIPath https://ssl.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt.cgi
Save the mt-config.cgi file.
At this point you should be able to access MT via SSL by going to: https://ssl.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt.cgi
Rather than access MT at the root of this domain--which I don't suggest because you may want to host other SSL apps--I suggest that you place a redirect script in your index file.
You can do this with Meta Refresh Tag or html meta refresh
That should answer your question.
