Best way to require SSL for a page?

[Bill Henning]

What is the best way to require certain pages on a web site to be viewed in
SSL (https://) vs. regular http://? Are there any recommended practices?
ASP.NET 2.0 suggestions are welcome.

Thanks in advance,
Bill

Hi Bill:

One foolproof method is to tell IIS that SSL is required. Right click on
a file, directory, or web site in the IIS MMC and go to the security tab.
From here you can edit the secure communication settings and require SSL
and even force 128 bit encryption.
