SSL from a web user control?

[Guest]

Hi all,

Is it possible to have a specific postback from a non-SSL page to be SSL
enabled? I want to have a login form (which is a web user control) on my
starting page and if the user logs in I want to do a post back with SSL
(https...) to my server. Please note that I do not want the starting page to
be with SSL.

Is this possible? Or any work arounds for this? Many websites out there have
a login form on the starting page even if the starting page is without SSL so
I guess this is a normally scenario - or do they just skip the SSL in the
first postback?

Thanks
Thomas

Hi,

Use https in the form action tag(for the secure page) in your non ssl page.

In this case your users have no guarantee that they're even on *your* web
site when they enter their credentials...
