Re: Marking Session IDs as Secure in IIS 6.0

 Steve,
 
 In ASP.Net, it's further recommended that you set the secure attribute for the Forms Authentication cookie, using the 
requireSSL=true line on the <forms> element.

 It works the same for IIS 6.0, the property AspKeepSessionIDSecure  is
 still there.
 
 cd c:\ inetpub\ AdminScripts
 cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc/1/AspKeepSessionIDSecure 1
