About this tag
RPC over HTTPS is a protocol that allows remote clients to connect to internal network resources, such as Microsoft Exchange servers, without requiring a traditional VPN. On Windows 7 Server, a feature called Direct Connect uses RPC over HTTPS along with IPv6 and IPSec to create a secure tunnel from outside the corporate network. This enables access to file shares, line-of-business applications, and other internal resources. The connection relies on trusted identities like smartcards for authentication. RPC over HTTPS is commonly used for Outlook Anywhere scenarios, providing seamless remote access to Exchange mailboxes and other services while maintaining security through encryption and certificate-based authentication.
