Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Download and use the TS client from the Microsoft site.

Ok,
Downloaded it and it works fine under PPC2003 *except* it seems that it is
only 56-bit.

We have a policy of using High security (128 bit) for TS sessions so I cant
connect to any servers. (I did downgrade the server rdp security for a few
minutes and was able to connect just fine, confirming that this is the
problem).

Is there a 128-bit version anywhere? Every site I know uses high encryption
on TS sessions so a low encryption client is pretty useless  

Any ideas anyone?
Al.

Nope. None of the current Terminal Services Clients on PocketPCs are 128-bit...:-(

Thanks Al (although it isnt what I wanted to hear).
Doesnt this seem like a *big* issue to anyone else?
Sysadmins (geeks) are just the sort of people that are

a) gonna have a paocket device
b) gonna need to connect in remotely

Do we want them to open TS sessions @ 56 bit? Worse we have to make the TS
server accept 56-bit from anyone........arent we going against all that
*security* focus that Microsoft is so keen to push by provigin a tool that
doesnt even support decent security?
I'm not a ppc programmer but how hard can it be to take an existing product,
add no functionality, but push up the encryption level?

Has somone in M$ forgotten about this one in their security push?

I think (but don't really know) it is a big issue with others, it is with me, along with the ability
to access alternative ports (versus the default port).

Just my $0.02 worth, which does not mean a whole lot...

I guess you can always tunnel through a VPN if your worried about security over the public
internet...
