If they're running IIS, then just one of the built in Security options
(Basic Authentication, Windows NT Challenge/Response) on the eCommerce
folder. Then no matter what the file the customer sought beneath that
folder, they'd have to have logged in one way or another. Basic Auth is a
little less secure than Windows NT C/R. If you go WNTC/R, have the
IUSR_<machinename> be the login for that area and control the identity of
the customer some other way via cookies/reading - writing to a temp
file/session variables/whatever

I had all pages that needed to be secure behind a login but as the
designer wants to depend less on me she wants to have the pages in html
instead of asp.
Check my reply to Wade....
