Perhaps I'm missing something, but here's how I did it: I created a sub-domain that users enter in their browser to access SM. On the server I created a Redirect to redirect that URL to an https address. Thus all users get an SSL connection, all the time, but none of them needs to type "https" to get it. It seems much simpler than some of the solutions I've seen proposed here, but perhaps I'm missing some potential added benefit. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
