Yes, I have some third party authentication I wish to use, and the
attempt is to make the authentication transparent to the user once the
user downloads a small plugin for their browser. The idea (at least
initially) is to create some program/plugin for IIS that intercepts
the fact that someone is attempting to use a secure connection on the
server, and then to verify themselves against the authentication
process I have written, and then be allowed access to content on the
server.
