use the secure domain for the catalog\admin\includes\configure.php

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://mysite321.com'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

Password protecting your admin directory has notthing to do with being secure. Password protecting your admin just keeps people out of your admin section. When osC tells you that you are not secure it is talking about using secure url's ie: https: instead of http: If you have a ssl cert you can use the secure paths in your admin by changing the first HTTP: define in your admin/includes/configure.php file as noted above.
