Password protecting section of a website [IIS6/ASP.NET]
I was just wondering what the most appropriate way is to secure a part of a website for members only using IIS6/ASP.NET? Is it dangerous to use windows authentication? I'm sort of new to this so I appreciate any help!

Thanks, that was really helpful! I was just wondering if there is any security issue or problem with using Windows authentication instead of Forms authentication with asp.net? I.e. is it bad practice to use Windows authentication instead of Forms authentication for password protecting a membership-only section of a website? Thanks again!

Unless it is an intranet I have always used form based authentication.

Hi,
IIS6/ASP.NET is not dangerous way.If you feels like then why don't you go for ssl. It's available with iis 6.0.
Another solution is, in .net one new feature is there using this you can configure your web pages to more secure.
Web.config acts as a central location for storing the information to be accessed by web pages. This information could be a Connection String stored at a centralized location so that it can be accessed in a data-driven page. If the connection string changes its just a matter of changing it at one place.
to know more about web.config please refer this link:
