Terminal Server has three kinds of encryption, configured at the server. Low: traffic from client to server is encrypted with 56-bit (40-bit if RDP 4.0 client) RC4. Traffic from server to client is unencrypted. Medium: traffic in both directions is encrypted with 56-bit (40-bit if RDP 4.0 client) RC4. High: traffic in both directions is encrypted with 128-bit RC4, if both the client and the server have installed the high-encryption pack. If the client doesn't have it installed, the connection fails. _______________________________________________________ Steve Riley Microsoft Communications Consulting in Denver, Colorado steriley () microsoft com +1 303 521-4129 (OLD mobile) www.microsoft.com/isn/ Applying computer technology is simply finding the right wrench to pound in the correct screw. -----Original Message----- From: Rich Wilson [mailto:wk633 () yahoo com] Sent: Tuesday, January 16, 2001 3:01 PM To: fw Subject: [fw-wiz] Remote admin I'm investigating remote admin solutions for a Win 2K bastion host. Yes, it has to be 2K, and yes, remote admin is required. In "Securing Windows NT/2000 Servers" (O'Reilly) Stefan Norburg describes pcAnywhere, Open source via OSSH/VNC, and Windows Terminal Services. In our current setup, we're using Timbuktu (www.netopia.com). Although Netopia encrypts text/mouse IO, they don't say what method is used. (at least not in the FAQ (http://www.netopia.com/support/faqs/software/tb22000faq.html#encryption) Anybody have any experience with these, or others? Can anyone shed more light on Timbuktu's security? ===== : __o : -\<, (voice/fax) +1 (250) 414-6154 : 0/ 0 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
