RE: RPC over HTTP security

Your joking right.

"SSL in and of itself provides very little security"

That's why most of the internet uses it right?. 

Your gonna have to back up statements like yours with some serious
factual backing otherwise your comments will be discarded as B.S coming
form someone who doesn't know what they are talking about.

SSL in and of itself provides very little security... Way to easy to
hack.  Look into a Neoteris (now Juniper) SSL VPN/Proxy.  This way evil
hack3r can not ride the SSL stream into your network and past any IDS or
IPS systems.

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