To be specific, one can indeed use SSL for RDP connections. Win2k3 allows specifying certificate-based TLS authentication at the server by installing a valid cert, specifying SSL as the security layer, and then choosing what encryption level you want, all the way to 140 bit FIPS as described in KB895433. But this, as you pointed out, has nothing to do with ISA other than publishing RDP.

Hi Raji,

There's nothing on the site for that specific scenario for ISA Server
2004 at this time, but if you are interested in the certificate
deployment, you can use any of the OWA or SSL publishing articles. I was
trying to think of what to write tonight and I was going to do something
on SSL (secure) publishing, so maybe I can't wrap this scenario into the
article.

Keep in mind that the RDP connection isn't an SSL connection. That is to
say, this is not an RDP/HTTP scenario. The SSL connection is only to the
log on page, but the RDP connection is RDP from end to end.

HTH,
Tom

Hi

My management wants me to secure remote access from the
Internet to our
published Terminal Server by using server certificates. We
use both the
TSAC web client and the RDP client on XP machines to connect. All this
through ISA server 2000. This was setup following Tom's
article back in
2001.

Any help on how to configure certificates to work with ISA server? Or
where to look.

Thanks
