Is there a way to create a login user control that does it's postback using SSL so that the entered username and password are protected?

I need to do this without SSL Encrypting the entire page since this control will be included as part of the master template for the site and only a small percentage of site visitors will actually use the login. Thus it doesn't make sense to SSL the entire website.

In old-style ASP I would do this as an include with a separate form that had an SSL target. I've read that it is technically possible to put multiple forms on an ASP.net page, but that it can cause problems.


What is the best way of accomplishing this?

The short answer is no, but you are appear to be confusing certification with encryption per se.

From what you have said, having a separate master page for the login page would be better.
