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 and/or access:
“We are still barely conscious of how harmful it is to treat children in a degrading manner. Treating them with respect and recognizing the consequences of their being humiliated are by no means intellectual matters; otherwise, their importance would long since have been generally recognized.”
—Alice Miller (20th century)
“Power, in Case’s world, meant corporate power. The zaibatsus, the multinationals ..., had ... attained a kind of immortality. You couldn’t kill a zaibatsu by assassinating a dozen key executives; there were others waiting to step up the ladder; assume the vacated position, access the vast banks of corporate memory.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
