SSL - Secure Socket Layer - a negotiated key system between two systems that
encrypts the stream of information passed between them.
To make this work you need:
A Certificate for the SSL Server (Verisign - about $300 per year)
An External Fully qualified domain name that matches the FQDN on the cert
A Root CA for the client machines (Verisigns Root CA comes with Windows)
If you want to try it - you can go to www.thawte.com and get a 21 day test
cert - keep in mind that since it is not a live cert you will need to
install the Thawte Test Root CA on any machine that will be testing with
your server. (From http://www.thawte.com/html/SUPPORT/index.html#)
I just finished a CSG setup yesterday - it was a bit of a pain - but it
seemed pretty slick once it was setup. So now we only need to open (2) SSL
ports to our CSG servers rather than 85 port 1494's to our Citrix boxes.

Yep, I have FR2. From what I have read it appears that SSL Relay is a
better solution for our situation. Of course I could be wrong!
