The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Daniel Bidwell <address@concealed>]

Here is what I have.  Sympa running under nginx with the following lines in sympa.conf

http_host https://sympa.andrews.edu
domain    sympa.andrews.edu
wwsympa_url https://sympa.andrews.edu/wws

and in wwsympa.conf:

cookie_domain sympa.andrews.edu

I can log in and it shows that I am a listmaster, but when I click on Sympa_admin it takes me back to the login screen endlessly.
