RE: Terminal Services over port 80 over HTTPS only

All of the solutions I'm aware of, inclusing our Virtual Access Suite, Citrix
Secure Gateway and 2008 TS can connect over SSL on port 443, which is almost
always open. Although I'm sure someone does it, I've never see a company
that restricts access to all HTTPS websites.

If you want more information on this, feel free to contact me at

Hi,

Environment : windows Server 2000 with Terminal server


My desktop application is installed on Windows 2000 Terminal server and is
being used by the clients over the internet using Remote Desktop client on
their machines. For new clients i would request their IT department to open
up the terminal services port in their firewall and boom the client uses the
application over remote desktop. but with this new client the only port they
can have open is port 80 (which is not a problem since i can change remote
desktop server to listen on port 80 instead of the default remote desktop
port since my server does not have IIS) but the main problem is that their
firewall does not allow Remote desktop protocol ( i.e the protocol that
Remote Desktop uses), they want me to configure my application so that it is
accessible over httpS protocol, so the question is

1. is there any way i can configure Remote desktop server ( i can even
upgrade to windows server 2003 or 2008 as well) with even a thrid party
software ( if any) to work on only HTTPS protocol only.

2. I heard that windows 2008 does have something like that, can anyone
confirm this.

3. Is there any other product in the market ( citrix ?) which allows mutiple
session like Remote desktop over Port 80 using HTTPS only.


i am in a pretty frustrating situation , any help is appreicated.


thanks

Sameer
