RDP over SSL with Windows Server 2003 SP1

Release Candidate 2 for Windows Server 2003 SP1 is available to test from microsoft.com, which means RTM can't be that far away!

A new feature in SP1 (at least, present in the RC2 build of SP1) that's been causing some confusion is RDP over SSL - a new option for Terminal Services that should provide server authentication for TS sessions, preventing MITM (man in the middle) attacks while providing a new option for encryption.

Up front - RDP over SSL is not a firewall traversal technology. It doesn't mean you're using Web protocols to do RDP. To rephrase, it's not "RDP over HTTP", it's "RDP with TLS authentication and encryption over TCP" - it still happens over TCP port 3389, as RDP usually does.(continue at source)
