Hi Han,

Actually, I won't be getting that fixed.
The article discusses how to change RDP services to use
certificate-based SSL encryption and server authentication.  It says
nothing about changing how the RDP protocol itself operates.

You're making the common, but mistaken assumption that SSL == HTTP.

Ok ..... But why does kb895433 say 'to use Transport Layer Security
(TLS) to
authenticate the terminal server and to encrypt the data that is sent
between
the terminal server and the client computer' and 'You can use Microsoft
Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1) together with Transport Layer
Security (TLS) version 1.0 to help increase terminal server security by
using
TLS for server authentication and to encrypt terminal server
communications.'
and 'This article describes how to configure Windows Server 2003 SP1 to
use
TLS 1.0 for server authentication to encrypt terminal server
communications.', etc.???
