Cool, I figured that was what you were thinking. If you talk to many of our security folks they would take a one size fits all approach which is ridiculous. You don't apply the same level of rigor to the candy dish on the counter that you would to the vault with the gold bars. Security has man

Right, hence a risk based approach. You know the risks, you can best determine what steps are needed to protect yourself. I know I often say things that sound absolute. But security is a balance of risk vs. costs and we need to make sure we strike the correct balance. -dhs Dean H. Sax

Not exactly. Let's say that my initial login process goes against AD or other LDAP, but the rest of the app is a public FAQ. If the session is hijacked there would be no way for them to get or change the login information unless methods were provided within the application to do so (which you w

Actually, if you use SSL at all, you need to use if from the beginning to the end of the session. Otherwise all of the value of SSL is lost once the user begins transmitting his session tokens (JSESSIONID) across an insecure link. -dhs Dean H. Saxe, CISSP, CEH [EMAIL PROTECTED] Here in
