Author Authentication

I have a server running IIS 4. It has a certificate
installed and is running SSL on one of my sites. If I am
at a page (http) and I make a user authenticate (basic
authentication) the password is sent in plain text. If I
am at a page (https) and a user authenticates using basic
is the password and username then encrypted?? (NN or IE)
If I go to IE only?

Thanks
MIke

Yes, browse the page in https, when IIS authentication kicks in, it will be
encrypted. Most browser support basic + ssl

Guys,

Your discussion is exactly what I am researching. Am I to understand that if you purchase a SSL certifcate and install it on an INTRANET exposed to the internet that the subsequent authentication login dialog and password would be encrypted?

For example https://myExposed.CompanyIntranet.com

Everything except the actual request line is encrypted. The line:

GET /mypage.htm HTTP/1.1

is not encrypted. The user credentials are.

Cheers
Ken
