Hello everyone,


In IIS, we can set the directory security of some virtual directory to .Net Passport authentication. I am very interested in this feature. But I am not sure that if I configure IIS in this way,

- Which .Net passport account should I use? Could I use the public MSN ID/Live ID applied from Microsoft (which we use to login MSN messenger) or should be use some other kinds .Net Passport ID?

- I learned if a web site is involved to use .Net Passport based authentication, web site delegates authentication work to .Net Passport login server, and the .Net passport login server is involved to do real authentication and ticket assignment. I am wondering if I use .Net Passport based authentication in the web site I setup, should I configure some .Net passport login server? If ues, how? I searched for quite some time but not found related documents regarding this setup.


thanks in advance,
George
