forcing post back to SSL from user control on master page

[Guest]

Greetings All,

here is my situation. i have a master page that has a login user control
embedded on it. within the user control there is a multiview. in the
default view, the username/passwords fields are there. once the user is
authenticated, the page posts back, and the multiview view changes to another
view where a menu is displayed.

under this set of circumstances, is it possible to use the postback url
propety for the login button to force the login to be redirected to a secure
server? if so, how would i have the login control on the redirected page
access the posted values to change the views?

thanks for any suggestions/clarification.
