I just upgraded my local test copy of DNN 5.6.3 to DNN 6.2.2.  Everything went smoothly or said it did.  After the upgrade the front page looked good, I logged in as host, it said I was logged in as host, but - I can't see the Admin or Host tabs! 

I have an evil feeling this relates to the crummy self-signed digital certificate my localhost site uses, but I'm not sure what to do - and since I can't see the Admin tab, I can't check the logs to see what's wrong.  I'm running Win7 Ultimate (64-bit), IIS 7, and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2.  I used the IIS "create your own digital cert" when I first went to a version of DNN that required HTTPS for the management tabs, but it looks like that won't work any more.  Specifically, the digital cert is in the name KEI-LAPTOP (the computer name) instead of localhost/osc which is the name of the site.  

DNN 5.2.2 showed me a security error, which I just blew past; but 6.2.2 is apparently pickier.  Suggestions?  This won't, of course, be a problem in production where we have a real digital cert; but I'd rather be able to validate the upgrade in test!

The admin and host tabs are now hidden from the menu system (an improvement in my opinion). Access now using the control panel.

Thank you, I'll go look there, it was just a little startling at first.  (Sorry, no, with 3 web sites to maintain I don't always have time to read all the release notes before I upgrade a test site...)  Glad to hear I don't have to mess with my security jury-rig.
