RE: RPC over HTTP security

["Depp, Dennis M." <deppdm () ornl gov>]

OWA is a great solution particularly when using it with IE running on
Windows.  However, OWA lacks the offline capability of Outlook.  With a
mobile force, this offline capability is almost a necessity.  As with
anything, you have to weigh the ricks of RPC over HTTPS with the
benefits it will bring to the buisness.

Are you using Exchange? Why not use OWA and secure it with SSL?
