Our manuallogin.asp asks for a password and a request has been made to
encrypt the password.

Does anyone know if the password is sent to the server or is a client
token written out?

Does anyone know if there is a way to use Window Integrated
Authentication with the manuallogin.asp code?

Thank you
Stefan [MSFT]

Hi MEB,

for forms login the username and password are sent in cleartext - visible to
anybody with a network sniffer.
Forms login should be protected using SSL.

Cheers,
Stefan.
