Means of Access
The Remote Web Workplace is a Web-based application and is accessed through a web browser. To control remote computers, a user is required to install a "Remote Desktop ActiveX control" into his/her web browser once, and only Internet Explorer is supported.
RWW works by proxying Remote Desktop via port 4125/tcp on earlier versions of SBS and via port 443/tcp on current versions of SBS to the usual RDP port (3389/tcp) on the internal client or server machine being reached. As a security measure, port 4125/tcp and/or port 443/tcp is not normally listening for incoming connections. The RDP Gateway service will only accept connections from the IP address of the user who has requested a RDP session via the web GUI. All other connection requests will be ignored producing "Connection refused" errors. The established proxied RDP session continues until the session inactivity timer drops the connection or the user disconnects. The usual RDP port of 3389/tcp is never exposed to the internet for RDP sessions established with RWW.

Famous quotes containing the words means of, means and/or access:
“Individuality is the aim of political liberty. By leaving to the citizen as much freedom of action and of being, as comports with order and the rights of others, the institutions render him truly a freeman. He is left to pursue his means of happiness in his own manner.”
—James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851)
“When committees gather, each member is necessarily an actor, uncontrollably acting out the part of himself, reading the lines that identify him, asserting his identity.... We are designed, coded, it seems, to place the highest priority on being individuals, and we must do this first, at whatever cost, even if it means disability for the group.”
—Lewis Thomas (b. 1913)
“Make thick my blood,
Stop up th’ access and passage to remorse,
That no compunctious visitings of nature
Shake my fell purpose.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
