While using Windows LiveID,  I need to (i) disable the Standard Login on the DNN login page in order for it to display only the LiveID login option (I guess this can easily be done by disabling the standard DNN login in host settings), (ii) to force Windows LiveID to go through the secure login by default (not the standard LiveID login) and (iii) to force an auto logout from DNN as well as Windows Live whenever the DNN Logout link is clicked (Currently, we have to logout from DNN as well as LiveID, necessitating 2 logouts with LiveID. I'd like to know whether (ii) and (iii) are possible and if yes, how?

Thanks, Mike. Yes I suppose Charles is away, but I hope he'll respond when he's back.

First off, I forgot to say that my DNN portal needs only admin and host accounts. No other users will be required now or in the future. So what I wanted was to secure the transmission of these 2 accounts'  passwords using the LiveID option.

I consider problem 1 as solved.

About problem 2- Let me clarify -- When I login using the LiveID option, I first get a warning that I'm about to get redirected to a connection that's not secure. Don't know whether this has any security implications, but I hope not! I click OK on the warning dialog. I'm then taken to the Microsoft LiveID site (http://login.live.com) and there I see a message like "Windows Live is not affiliated with www.dotnetnuke.com and will share with it only an anonymous ID" above the Signin section (although what this means, I've yet to find out). Now, below the Standard Signin there's a link, viz., Use enhanced security <https://login.live.com)

What I desired is this : (a) When I login to DNN using LiveID, I want to be redirected to the enhanced security (https://login.live.com) instead of to the standard Signin page (http://login.live.com) AND (b) I also want the things below to get disabled (at least make them invisible) on the secure Signin page :

Forgot your password,
Remember me on this computer,
Remember my password and
Use Standard Security.

I suppose there are ways of doing (a) from within DNN. I'd be glad if someone out there can tell me how.
As regards to (b), should I have to contact Microsoft?

About my problem No.3 - Well, I'm having the same questions as you!

This question might be more appropriately directed at Microsoft but I'm sure you can also explain - what's the difference between Standard login and Enhanced login if both were to go through an SSL-enabled channel anyway.

Actually what I wanted was to force admin/host accounts of DNN to login to LiveID only through the Enhanced Security option. This could be possible if the DNN provider supports redirection to this option as you said, but that's not enough. I also need to disable the option to click on Standard Security link as well as the other options I mentioned when the DNN user lands on Windows Live. But I guess that's beyond DNN's control?
