SSL Implementation for Login page : Some Queries

Question

5.00/5 (1 vote)

See more:

I have a web application that has pages accessed by everyone and part of the application is accessed based on user roles. I implemented Form based Authentication with Role based security. Now client wants to add SSL to the login page. I have some queries regarding how to go for this requirement. I have never done any work on SSL so this is the learning curve for me.

1 > Is it possible to add SSL for just part of the web application and not the whole application. ? I just want to SSL enable Login.aspx page and leave rest of the application accessible without SSL.

2 > At the moment my login control is in a Model Popup Extender. Technically it is not a page but it resides in a Master page as a hidden panel and when user clicks on the login menu button it will pop up. I am not sure is it possible to add SSL to just model popup extender or do I have to create a Login.aspx page and put login control there ?

3> Any good resource to implement this will be appreciated.

This is 10 on 10.. Worked like a charm. I have to figure out about Model popup extender now. This solution works fine with just a page or directory needing SSL. Thanks a lot.
