Microsoft's Outlook 11 can envelope its RPC traffic in HTTPS and thereby go through the firewall on port 443 to connect to the Exchange server. Is this thought to be anymore risky than conventional port 443 traffic?
If I understand the "wrapping" correctly, the advantages are mainly on the client side: works from behind NAT(masq), no open ports for RFC-Backconnects on the client (i.e. you probably can close them). Or did you think of OWA, which (by definition) works via HTTP(S)? Bye Volker Tanger IT-Security discon gmbh DeTeWe AG & Co.
