Using IIS as a foundation for What's Up seems far less secure than cleartext passwords.. Code Red anyone? In principle, however, SSL access to the What's Up web would be sweeet. One thing I'm working on in my abundant spare time is using STunnel (www.stunnel.org) to act as an SSL proxy server in front of What's up. The thing you lose this way is What's Up's per-IP address restrictions. (If using STunnel on a Unix box, you can substitute with libwrap) Hope this helps --D Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
