We use the two loop effective potential to study the first order electroweak phase transition in the minimial supersymmetric standard model. A global search of the parameter space is made to identify parameters compatible with electroweak baryogenesis. We improve on previous such studies by fully incorporating squark and Higgs boson mixing, by using the latest experimental constraints, and by computing the latent heat and the sphaleron rate. We find the constraints tan beta > 2.1, top squark mass < 172 GeV, and Higgs mass < 107 GeV (becoming more or less restrictive if the heavy stop has mass less than or greater than 1 TeV). We also find that the change in tan beta in the bubble wall is rarely greater than 0.001, which severely constrains the mechanism of baryogenesis.
