I have a site which I would like to add a login system to.

The content being protected isn't sensitive as such, but a login would be useful for allowing users to customise the viewing experience.

I would like to process a login request using ASP.NET in a secure SSL folder so as to protect the information being sent over HTTP and avoid any potential interception.

ASP.NET will flop out an authentication cookie, but is this cookie available for use in files outside the SSL folder?

For example, if the user is logged in, it would be useful to present a welcome message on the front page of the site.
