Re: ASP.NET and SSL question

My understanding is that the scope of using SSL is one http request. So if
you navigate from the home page to other pages with https://..., you will
use SSL. If you do with http, you won't.

I am not sure though if you will remain in the same application as you
switch from http to https. Give it a try and see if the user remains
authenticated.

Hi,
I have an ASP.NET 2.0 application with an ASP.NET login control in the
master page. The user can only access the home page without logging in,
all the other pages require authentication. Once the user has logged in
the login control is hidden.

To secure the users name and password does this mean my entire web site
should use SSL or can I get away with just using SSL on the home page
where they login?

Please feel free to ask for more information.
Thanks
Steve
