ASP MTS security with IE and Netscape

[Patrick Long]

Anyone implementing a DNA application across ASP, MTS and SQL 7.0 which must
support IE and Netscape navigator?

If so what security mechanism are you using?

[Michael Howard]

what do you mean by 'what security mechanism'? if you mean which auth scheme,
then you need to use either basic auth over ssl/tls or client certificates.
nscp does not support digest auth or any other auth mechanisms. next issue
is whether you want to delegate the client's credentials to the sql server
database. there are scalability issues with this however.

on this.

For authentication, basic authentication over SSL

to the best of my knowledge, NSCP6 does not support digest auth.
