Password protected .NET ClickOnce deployment?

Question

How can I protect a ClickOnce deployed application with a password? Do I have to change the IIS settings of the web or is there a way to do it programmatically?

Answer 1

The only solution I've ever seen is here: Click Once Forms Auth

We've run into the same problem with trying to secure an application. The one problem with the solution above that I've noticed is that the cookie information is in the URL, which means if someone theoretically intercepted the URL, they could use it to also download the application. Other than that, it seems like a viable solution.
