Why would an intranet need SSL if the web app already depended on Windows
authentication. Should the company intranet firewall provide enough
security for aspnet apps?

Wouldn't SSL (HTTPS) really only be needed for anonymous internet
applications??

Also, If the application uses cookieless sessions, wouldn't using the https
absolute URLS cause the session to renew and screw up any session
variables.....

Ideas?

TIA
Harry
