Hi All

I have remote users who will need to connect in a secure manner to our
Terminal Server from wireless hotspots, It looks TSweb would be great but im
really concerned about security (duh). I Have not given them VPN acess yet as
some WIfi points disallow the nessesary ports.

Before i give my TS box a public IP and DNS address does any one have any
ideas as to controlloing the access allowed..

2003 Svr sp2
XP sp2

RE: 2003 Terminal Service From Web

TSweb is not a security mechanism for delivering Terminal Services
connections. All is does is provide an activex RDP client and the rdp file
settings to connect to the TS. You'd have to open port 3389 on your Internet
Firewall to allow access w/o a 3rd party solution, or switch to Server 2008
which has a Terminal Server Gateway, which allows for connecting users
securely over port 443.

Without switching to 2008, one could use solutions like our Virtual Access
Suite, or an SSL VPN, which would allow users to connect over 443.
