IIS http to -> https via login page ?

[Frank Miverk]

Hi all,

Here's my situation:

I have a public website that is wide open via http:

Home
Products
News
Login
.... etc

Then I have a secure area:
Members only
More members only
etc...

Under IIS, I have a virtual directory for the secure area, with an SSL cert.

My question is, how do I make the transition from http -> https after a user
logs in?

Thanks for any tips.

My question is, how do I make the transition from http -> https after a
user logs in?

For this sort of functionality, I use this:
http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/WebPageSecurity_v2.asp?df=100&forumid=53615&exp=0&select=1927018

Been using it since ASP.NET 1.x, and never had a single problem with it...

I think one of the whole points of HTTPS is so login details are
encrypted. Why would you want to transmit the login details over
regular HTTP but then protect the regular traffic?
