A client has been providing his website with http and https for a few years now and decided to switch to https-only a few months ago. We've started with the usual of changing the internal page links to https first.

However, google webmaster tools / analytics now don't seem to catch the new https-traffic. The tools are loaded correctly, but no clicks are registered. We tried to verify the https as a new property, which did work, but I cannot access the relevant page in the webmaster tools any more.

Also, I find quite different answers on the question if the webmaster tools automatically link http and https-properties to each other or not.

We've now redirected all traffic from http to https and set the main page to https in the google analytics tool. Is that enough to get everything working again? The only thing coming to mind would be deleting the old property completely, but that would obviously delete all attached history as well.
