User.Identity.IsAuthenticated and requireSSL=true

Hi All

If I set an ASP.NET 2.0 site to forms authentication mode with
requireSSL=true, and I log in though https, then as soon as I swap back
to http mode, User.Identity.IsAuthenticated becomes false again and I
lose all the previous Identity information. Can anyone tell me how I'm
supposed to make use of User.Identity without running the whole site in
SSL?

Thanks, TH.
